Description
Ciudad Quesada is a special residential town in the Alicante region that was founded in the seventies by the visionary entrepreneur Justo Quesada Samper as a dream project for vacationers.
The history of the place is unique because it was one of the first towns in Spain to be developed entirely privately and later grew into a full-fledged community with every conceivable amenity. The climate is Mediterranean and extremely healthy, partly thanks to the proximity of the salt lakes of Torrevieja which create a microclimate praised by the World Health Organization.
The main attractions are the iconic city arch at the entrance and the beautiful natural environment of the salt lagoons where one can admire countless flamingos in their natural habitat. The local gastronomy reflects the international character of the town with an impressive range of restaurants ranging from authentic Spanish tapas bars to refined cuisines from all over the world. For golfers, Ciudad Quesada is a true paradise thanks to the La Marquesa Golf Course, a challenging eighteen-hole course that winds through the town's valleys and is accessible to every level.
The residents form a cosmopolitan community of European expats and Spaniards who greatly appreciate the vibrant atmosphere and strong social cohesion of this modern urbanization. The surroundings are characterized by rolling hills, wide views of the Mediterranean Sea, and the short distance to the award-winning sandy beaches of Guardamar del Segura. Living in Ciudad Quesada offers numerous advantages, including an excellent infrastructure with its own medical centers, a bustling social life all year round, and a very high quality of life at favorable prices.
