Santa Pola is an important fishing port on the southern stretch of the province. In the centre of the town stands one of the most impressive castles and fortresses in the area and it dates from the 16th century and is still used today. It now houses a museum as well as a chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Loreto.

 

Opposite the entrance to the castle, is the Plaza de la Glorieta, which offers shade and somewhere to eat and drink and becomes very vibrant by night. The town also offers a marine museum, beaches, several towers and viewpoints and a boat ride to the nearby island of Tabarca. There are many water sports and because of the fishing industry, fresh fish can be found all over the town's restaurants. Daily markets have fresh fish straight off the boats.
