Playa Flamenca is a small seaside resort just south of Punta Prima and north of La Zenia on the southern Orihuela Costa Blanca. One of the major developments in Playa Flamenca is the La Florida urbanization.
Playa Flamenca was founded in 1972 by a group of Flemish investors who turned a deserted coastline and beaches into the popular, thriving holiday destination that it is today.
