Parking in Torrevieja: new parking area and summer 2026 rules
Torrevieja's centre and port are being rebuilt while the city opens temporary alternatives and adjusts traffic rules. If you have a rental car, a quick check before driving into the centre is worthwhile.
New parking area by Avenida de la Estación
At the end of July 2026 a temporary parking area opened between Avenida de la Estación, Calle Ciudad de Barcelona, Camino del Acequión and the N-332. The city gives its size as 7,048 square metres.
Ramón Gallud: parking is now allowed until 20:00
The initially stricter summer rule was changed. Since 3 August, parking on the affected section between Calle Orihuela and Calle Apolo has been allowed from 00:00 to 20:00 and prohibited from 20:00 to 24:00.
The city plans to review the rule after summer. Current signs on site therefore take priority over older articles or maps.
Further parking areas are planned
The city has announced four larger peripheral parking areas near the centre and port with more than 3,900 spaces in total. Until those projects actually open, we treat the figure as planned rather than available capacity.
Our practical tip for visitors
In peak summer, allow extra time when driving into the centre. For many journeys in Torrevieja, walking, bus or taxi can be easier than looking for a space directly by the waterfront.
