Villamartin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Villamartin is the name of both an urbanisation and a golf course in the Costa Blanca area of eastern Spain. It lies in the municipality of Orihuela, in the province of Alicante in the Valencian Community .

Villamartin is one of the many new developments in the past decade in this area of Costa Blanca. The place is very popular with the tourists and most of the population consists of Western European expatriate communities who have settled there in the last 10 years, virtually transforming the village into a modern-looking town. There are also other golf courses nearby and numerous beaches. The nearest beach is the La Zenia beach.

Situated within the urbanisation is the Villamartin Plaza (Square) which houses numerous shops, bars, cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes. Huge palm trees grow centrally within the Plaza being home to several parrots. These are a cause of great interest and enjoyment to the watching hoards of locals and tourists alike and have taken on somewhat of a celebrity status; their squawking and flying exploits being a central part of the Plaza's popularity.
