Welcome to our San Miguel De Salinas Area Guide, your complete source for discovering one of the Costa Blanca’s most charming inland towns. Just 15 minutes from the beaches of Orihuela Costa and Torrevieja, San Miguel De Salinas offers a peaceful lifestyle with a strong sense of community, traditional Spanish character and modern convenience.
San Miguel De Salinas has deep agricultural roots dating back to Moorish times. Originally settled due to its elevated position, the town served as a lookout and resting point between the coast and inland Murcia. Its historic church and whitewashed streets still reflect its traditional past. Over the years, the town has grown steadily, attracting international residents drawn to its authentic feel and scenic surroundings.
San Miguel offers a relaxed yet active lifestyle. The town centre has everything you need – local tapas bars, family-run restaurants, weekly markets and essential shops. Key highlights include:
Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel – A stunning 18th-century church at the heart of the town.
Wednesday street market – Popular with locals and expats for fresh produce, clothes and artisan goods.
La Pedrera Reservoir – Ideal for walking, cycling and birdwatching with panoramic views over the Vega Baja.
Local fiestas – Colourful events throughout the year celebrate Spanish culture, music and food.
San Miguel sits on the edge of the Vega Baja, offering easy access to beautiful countryside and coastal hotspots:
Orihuela Costa – Including beaches at La Zenia, Campoamor and Cabo Roig.
Torrevieja – Famous for its salt lakes and lively seafront.
Villamartin Plaza – A vibrant hub with bars, restaurants and golf nearby.
Las Colinas Golf & Country Club – One of Spain’s top golf courses is just a short drive away.
