With this award, Torrenueva Costa reinforces its commitment to a model of sustainable tourism, based on the conservation of its natural heritage and landscape and continues to consolidate itself as an outstanding destination on the Costa Tropical for those seeking to enjoy nature, hiking and the coast.
