SENSATION IN TORREVIEJA! "Forbidden Paradise" opens its gates: No more fines and the birth of the ultimate spa on the Pink Lagoon

Torrevieja/

Can you imagine legally swimming in the wonderful bubble gum-colored waters without fear of the police? What seemed like an impossible dream is just now becoming a reality. We have exclusive details!

Author: Editors | Torrevieja News

It's a public secret that's been circulating around Vega Baja, a rumor that has shaken the foundations of tourism on the Costa Blanca, and which we can finally confirm today. The Pink Lagoon in Torrevieja will no longer be the forbidden fruit!

Forget the chases, forget the fear of administrative fines and looking over your shoulder when trying to touch the water. Torrevieja City Hall is preparing the most ambitious project of the decade: an exclusive bathing and thalassotherapy center in the heart of our salinas.

ONLY WITH US! Internal sources confirm

Although officially there is silence, direct and reliable sources from the City of Torrevieja have confirmed to us that the project ISTS. The plans are on the table. The intentions are real.

However, they warn us: don't pack your bathing suits for this weekend just yet. According to the same sources, although the bureaucratic machinery has already started, the project has not yet been massively presented to the media and promises to be a Pharaonic long-term venture. But the seed has already been sown.

From "Crime" to Luxury: The End of Prohibition

The current situation resembles a dystopian novel. Today bathing in the Pink Lagoon is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Fines for violating this protected ecosystem are raining down on unsuspecting tourists like thunderheads.

Nowadays, the only "usual" way to get close is the famous tourist train that takes passengers to the mountains of salt (our salty snow) and lets you stand on the shore, look, but not touch.... until now.

What has been an underground activity for years - hundreds of people sneaking in every summer in search of "miracle mud" - will become a jewel in the crown of tourism. The goal is clear: order the chaos. Transform the spontaneous activity into a world-class Talasotherapy zone.

Pact at FITUR: Alliance of the Century concluded!

The first "virtual" stone for this megaproject has already been laid. At the beginning of the year, during the FITUR fair in Madrid, the City Hall and salt giant NCAST (Lessee of the Salin in Torrevieja) signed a historic agreement.

Details of the plan:

  • Location: Former salt ponds, north of the main installations. A forgotten industrial zone that will rise from the ashes (or salt).
  • Management: NCAST will do its own thing: produce 500,000 tons of salt per year for domestic and international markets. They are making the land available, but management of the resort will be sublet. The business of the century is looking for an owner!
  • Future: This is only Phase 1. There is talk of revitalizing old industrial buildings around the lagoon. A boutique hotel? A living museum? The sky is the only limit.

Why does the whole world want to bathe here? The Secret of Pink Color

It's not blood, it's not pollution, it's NATURAL MAGIC. The Pink Lagoon is a biological phenomenon unique in Europe that rivals the Dead Sea.

The bubble gum color that floods Instagram is due to a "biological bomb": the bacteria Halobacterium and a microscopic alga called Dunaliella salina. These organisms release pink pigments to protect themselves from the sun's radiation in an environment of extreme salinity.

These waters have a salt concentration similar to the Dead Sea (350 grams per liter). You float effortlessly! In addition, the black bottom muds and brine have legendary analgesic and dermatological properties.

Torrevieja will soon become Europe's most spectacular open-air spa What was illegal will soon become essential.
