Guardamar, also known as Guardamar del Segura is a typical Spanish town which not only has one of the best beaches in Spain, it also has an excellent street market every Wednesday morning and some brilliant shops, bars and restaurants. It is surrounded by two large and beautiful natural salt water lakes which form the "Salinas de Guardamar" and are an official Spanish Nature Reserve. These lakes attract a wide variety of bird life.
Guardamar has learned a few lessons from places like Benidorm, because you'll find no high-rise skyscrapers or package holiday hotels in Guardamar and because Guardamar is orientated towards families and couples, you'll find no night-time trouble with lager louts etc.
