October is a good month to look at the reason the town exists at all. Between Torrevieja and La Mata lie two salt lagoons, still worked for salt today; algae and brine shrimp turn one of them pink. It is a protected area, walked and cycled. The air above the salt flats is dry.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 35 rainy days a year, 66% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
