Torrevieja will celebrate it’s Summer Carnival on 15 and 16 August, with a series of activities that are being arranged by the Councillor for Fiestas, Concha Sala, and the president of the Torrevieja Carnival Cultural Association, Francisco Pizana.
The councillor said that the Torrevieja carnival has been declared a festival of Autonomous Tourist Interest of the Valencian Community, so it will provide an excellent portrait of the city for all visitors who are spending their holidays in the area.
