Lomas de Cabo Roig is close to several blue-flag beaches on the Orihuela Costa
Today, Lomas de Cabo Roig is a bustling and vibrant district in Orihuela Costa, but the area was virtually untouched until the early 1960s when domestic and international tourism exploded along Spain’s east coast.
How to get to Lomas de Cabo Roig
Lomas is very central for travellers and is serviced by two airports. Murcia’s Corvera can be reached in around 45 minutes along the A-P 7 motorway and it takes just under an hour to get to Alicante airport on the N-332, which is currently not a toll road.
There is a bus stop located at the Overseas supermarket (locally just referred to as Iceland) with stops at all of the surrounding districts.
Lomas de Cabo Roig Commercial Centre
Before building started on the commercial centre in 2019, entertainment in Lomas de Cabo Roig consisted of one short but lively ‘strip’ of bars and restaurants with several other pubs dotted here and there.
Now, the strikingly modern Lomas de Cabo Roig shopping centre boasts a total of 27 commercial premises on two floors with huge outdoor terraces, a tastefully decorated common area and plenty of parking.
If you’re hankering for some home comforts, the Overseas supermarket is just a short stroll away on Calle Cantábrico. Open from 8.30am to 9pm Monday to Friday and from 9am until 6pm on Sundays the store is an official stockist of Iceland and Waitrose products.
