This established bar and restaurant is offered as a leasehold (traspaso) in Ciudad Quesada, on the southern Costa Blanca. The premises cover approximately 270 m² of built space on a first-floor position with lift access, complemented by a spacious outdoor terrace of roughly 350 m². The property includes a fully fitted bar, an open-plan commercial kitchen with walk-in fridge, and seating for well over one hundred covers in total. The asking price is a fixed €99,950 for the transfer of the business, with a monthly rent of €2,250. Ciudad Quesada sits inland of Torrevieja, around 27 km from Alicante-Elche airport as the crow flies.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The business is located in Ciudad Quesada, a residential town in the municipality of Rojales, Alicante province. It sits within walking distance of the main high street, surrounded by other bars, restaurants and commercial premises. The wider area offers 25 restaurants within 2 km, along with pharmacies, banks and a cafe. Elche lies 22 km away in a straight line and Alicante approximately 38 km, giving access to larger urban centres.
Functionally, this property serves an operator rather than a resident. The layout separates the bar area, main dining room, open-plan kitchen with walk-in fridge and storerooms, three public toilets plus a staff toilet, and a waiter station. A covered staff courtyard sits at the rear. Access is via stairs or a private lift. The terrace accommodates chillout seating, high tables and dining covers with panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and mountains.
This is not a new-build project. The building dates from 1970 and the business is transferred in its current condition, described as key-ready. The kitchen is fully equipped with commercial appliances and the bar is fitted out. No phased delivery applies; completion of any transfer is by agreement between the parties. Any refurbishment needs would need to be assessed during a viewing, as the data does not specify recent renovation works.
The offering is a leasehold transfer, not a freehold property purchase. This means no ownership of the building is acquired and a monthly rent of €2,250 applies. There are no bedrooms or bathrooms of a residential type, no private garden and no private swimming pool. No residential living is possible on the premises. Energy performance details and annual running costs beyond the stated rent are not provided in the available data.

This type of transfer typically suits an experienced hospitality operator looking for an established, equipped venue rather than a start-up from scratch. The kitchen is fully kitted out with commercial equipment, which removes one of the largest capital outlays of opening a new restaurant. Someone with an existing catering background who wants a turnkey operation on the southern Costa Blanca would find the setup directly workable. It may also fit a couple or small family team, given the layout of the dining room, terrace and kitchen and the staff facilities at the rear. The terrace capacity and sunset views point towards evening-oriented trade, while the indoor space supports year-round operation for the resident population of Ciudad Quesada. What it does not suit is a residential buyer. There is no accommodation, and the leasehold structure means no property ownership is acquired. Buyers seeking a freehold premises or a home-with-business combination would need to look elsewhere. It is also relevant for anyone budgeting carefully: beyond the €99,950 transfer price, the €2,250 monthly rent continues for the duration of the lease, and the actual licence status, transfer conditions and remaining lease term should be verified with a Spanish lawyer before any commitment.
The interior is described as modern and sleek, with a fully fitted bar area finished to a contemporary standard. Photographic analysis of the listing shows a dining area with large windows, a commercial kitchen finished in black tiles and stainless steel, and a hotel-style bar interior with display shelving, materials consistent with a professionally equipped hospitality venue rather than a domestic conversion. The kitchen is the technical core of the property: an open-plan layout with a large pass, dedicated storeroom, fridge area and a walk-in cold room. This level of specification matters operationally, as replacing commercial kitchen equipment represents a significant cost in any new hospitality venture. A covered rear courtyard houses the dishwashing area and provides a staff exit, which supports separation of service flows. The building itself dates from 1970, so the structural fabric should be assessed independently during a viewing; the available data does not state when the premises were last refurbished. Climate control is present in the form of air conditioning, and a private lift provides alternative access to the first floor alongside the stairs. Three public toilets, female, male and accessible, plus a private staff toilet indicate that accessibility requirements have been considered. Buyers should commission their own technical survey and confirm compliance of the kitchen installation with current regulations.
The asking price is a fixed €99,950 for the leasehold transfer of the business, including fittings and equipment as described. This is not a 'from' price and there is no unit variation: it concerns one premises with a stated rent of €2,250 per month payable to the landlord. The building dates from 1970 and the business is available in its current, key-ready state. Prospective buyers should verify through their advisers what exactly transfers with the price, fixtures, licences, kitchen equipment and any stock, as this data is not itemised. Availability is immediate in principle, subject to negotiation and completion of the transfer.
Ciudad Quesada functions as a year-round residential town with a pronounced seasonal swing, as holidaymakers fill the area during the summer months. For a hospitality business, this rhythm matters: the customer base combines local residents, many of them international, with a tourist influx concentrated in the warmer half of the year. The premises themselves occupy a first-floor position reached by stairs or a private lift, which is relatively unusual for a bar-restaurant and shapes how customers arrive and leave. Inside, the flow works from the fitted bar with around twenty covers, through a main dining room seating a further forty to fifty, to a fully equipped open-plan commercial kitchen with a large pass, storeroom and walk-in fridge. A rear exit leads to a covered staff courtyard with a dishwashing area, which separates the working back-of-house from the customer-facing front. Three public toilets, one of them accessible, plus a staff toilet, support the capacity on busy days. The terrace is the largest single asset at approximately 350 m², with sixteen covers on chillout sofas, roughly twelve at high tables and more than forty across the main dining section, with scope for additional seating. It looks out over the surrounding countryside and mountains, with sunset views. For an operator, daily routine revolves around terrace service in the evening and indoor service during midday heat or cooler winter months, with air conditioning covering the interior. Parking availability and passing trade on the approach streets are practical factors for both staff and customers.
Ciudad Quesada sits at 69 metres above sea level, a short distance inland from the coastal strip of Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja. The immediate environment within 2 km contains 25 restaurants, two pharmacies, three banks, a cafe and a dentist, the day-to-day infrastructure a business owner needs within easy reach. The town has a permanent, largely international population, which keeps local trade going outside the summer season. For leisure and sport, Centro Deportivo La Raqueta lies 3.4 km away in a straight line and the municipal sports centre El Molino 3.5 km. Golf is a notable feature of the wider area: Club de Golf La Finca is 6.9 km away and Club de Golf Villamartín 14.9 km, both straight-line distances. The Marina de les Dunes port is 7.6 km away, and an Iberdrola electric vehicle charging point is located at the Oasis Center, 3.8 km from the premises. Public transport exists but is limited: nine lines serve the area with five stops, so in practice a car is the normal means of transport for staff, deliveries and customers arriving from surrounding urbanisations. Larger urban centres are within workable distance, with Elche 22 km away, Murcia 37 km and Alicante 38 km, all measured in a straight line.

Ciudad Quesada occupies an inland position on the southern Costa Blanca, within the municipality of Rojales and roughly equidistant between the larger centres of Torrevieja on the coast and Orihuela's interior urbanisations. Its character is that of an established residential town with a substantial international community, distinct from the high-rise coastal resort strips. For a hospitality business, this means a genuine year-round catchment rather than a purely seasonal one, while remaining close enough to the coast, the marina is 7.6 km away as the crow flies, to benefit from summer tourism. Elche (22 km) and Alicante (38 km) provide regional urban connections.
Access by air is straightforward: Alicante-Elche Airport (ALC) lies approximately 27 km away as the crow flies, making it a short drive for international customers, staff and deliveries. Valencia Airport is around 159 km away and Málaga-Costa del Sol roughly 369 km, both relevant as secondary options. Road access follows the coastal corridor of the southern Costa Blanca, with the N-332 and AP-7 serving the wider region. The sea and marina facilities sit within a 7.6 km straight-line radius at Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, while the beaches of Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja are a short drive west. Note that all distances quoted are direct distances; actual road routes are longer. Parking around the premises is described as plentiful, which matters for a venue without ground-floor frontage. Public transport comprises nine lines and five stops in the area, sufficient for local journeys but not a substitute for a vehicle in daily business operations.

The climate data points to mild winters and warm summers: average monthly temperatures range from 12°C to 26°C, with an annual average of 18.8°C. This supports year-round terrace use, although midday summer heat shifts hospitality trade towards evenings, when the terrace's sunset orientation becomes relevant. The swimming season lasts five months, with sea temperatures at or above 20°C, underpinning the summer tourist influx that supplements resident trade. The town's position at 69 metres elevation, slightly inland and above the coastal flats, gives the terrace its panoramic views over countryside and mountains. The terrain in the immediate area is generally gentle, without steep slopes affecting access. For an operator, the practical climate considerations are air conditioning for the indoor space in summer and the fact that the large terrace extends usable capacity during the many months of the year when outdoor dining is comfortable.

The coastal strip of the southern Costa Blanca lies a short drive away, with the beaches of Guardamar del Segura and Torrevieja within easy reach; the nearest marina, Port Esportiu Marina de les Dunes, is 7.6 km away in a straight line. These coastal facilities feed the tourist economy that a hospitality business in Ciudad Quesada draws upon. Golf is the strongest recreational feature in the vicinity: Club de Golf La Finca at 6.9 km and Club de Golf Villamartín at 14.9 km attract a visiting, spending clientele throughout much of the year. Sports facilities closer to hand include Centro Deportivo La Raqueta (3.4 km), the municipal Polideportivo El Molino (3.5 km) and Club de Taekwondo Draco Kwan (5.0 km), all measured directly. The surrounding countryside and mountains visible from the terrace offer walking and cycling routes. Together, these amenities support visitor flows across the seasons rather than concentrating demand purely in the summer.

This offering differs fundamentally from the residential developments typically marketed around Ciudad Quesada and Torrevieja. Comparable projects in the wider area are new-build apartments: Palangre Beach in Torrevieja from €160,000, Edificio Sun & Center in Torrevieja from €169,000, and Oasis Laguna 2 Phase II in Urbanización El Raso from €227,000. All three involve freehold ownership of residential units, whereas this listing transfers an operating hospitality business under leasehold terms for €99,950 plus €2,250 monthly rent. The comparison is relevant because several buyer profiles overlap: someone relocating to the southern Costa Blanca may weigh a small apartment purchase against acquiring a business that generates income. The entry price here is lower than the cheapest comparable apartment, but the cost structure is different, rent continues indefinitely, and the asset is a trading operation whose value depends on licences, equipment condition and customer goodwill rather than on land ownership. Locationally, Ciudad Quesada sits inland of Torrevieja, at 69 metres elevation, with a stable resident population alongside seasonal tourism. This dual catchment is what distinguishes it from purely coastal resort areas, where hospitality trade drops sharply outside the summer. Golf courses at La Finca (6.9 km) and Villamartín (14.9 km) and the marina at 7.6 km add visitor flows. Against the regional backdrop, Elche at 22 km, Murcia at 37 km and Alicante at 38 km straight-line, the town offers a workable balance of local demand and coastal accessibility.
