La Pinada is a picnic area located in the middle Salina de La Mata nature reserve (one of the two salt water lakes in Torrevieja). There's a wooden walkway from the tourist center (Centro de Interpretación Parque Natural La Mata), it will take some 20 minutes to get there. Alternatively you can park near Cemeterio Municipal de La Mata, just 5 minutes walk from there. Wooden tables and benches are installed under the trees. There's a wooden observation tower (El Mirador) offering great views to the lake, especially at sunset. This place is never crowded, great if you want to combine your visit to the salina with a picnic. The area around the lake is great for cycling and running. No fire allowed and no toilets. read more
