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, and doctors have long recommended places like it to people with weak lungs.
