Los Montesinos - Situated just north of the Torrevieja salt lake, Los Montesinos is one of the Vega Baja villages of the Southern Costa Blanca, Spain. Located in the Alicante province, it is a village that has retained it's Spanish feel, despite the development of a large urbanisation to the north west of the village.

The village  history goes back to Roman times, remains of a Roman village have been found and this links conveniently to the important ancient Roman road which runs through the village. The Via Augusta would have been the most important road in Spain during the Roman occupation.

Over many centuries Los Montesinos has depended mostly on agriculture for its survival, but in recent years the modern invasion of tourism and property development seems to have taken over in importance. The village is still, however surrounded by mile upon mile of orange and lemon groves. New development of properties has brought more wealth and status to Los Montesinos and has resulted in a sizeable expat community in the village. Even so the old Spanish traditions have not been lost and the old mingles nicely with the new giving Los Montesinos a warm and friendly feel.
