Torrevieja's calendar has a strong cultural streak. Its signature is the International Habaneras and Polyphony Contest each July — a choral competition running since 1955 with International Tourist Interest status — while its Holy Week (Semana Santa) processions, now a Festival of Tourist Interest, fill the streets before Easter. The La Mata district holds its patron-saint fiestas for the Virgen del Rosario across September and October.
Add the huge Friday street market — one of the biggest on the Costa Blanca — the Christmas lights and market, and the Three Kings parade in January, and there's usually something on. This page keeps the coming days — tonight, this weekend and the week ahead — in one place, updated as events are confirmed.
