Orihuela Costa tourist train returns for summer 2024

THE ORIHUELA COSTA TOURIST TRAIN first rumbled onto the streets in 2018, proving an immediate hit upon its introduction. The popular train is back for the summer of 2024 to provide an innovative and enjoyable way to experience the local area.

The local attraction was initially launched by Orihuela Town Hall in association with the established Valencian passenger transport company, Bus Sigüenza. Billed as the “best way to discover Orihuela Costa”, the road train provides a unique travel experience and a practical way of getting around the coastal region.

The Orihuela Costa tourist train operates a road-going locomotive pulling a carriage with covered seating providing shade and a generous seating capacity.

The service operates a return route starting out from Campoamor and servicing points of interest eastward along the Orihuela Costa coastline, and runs a return service from Playa Flamenca travelling in a westerly direction.

For summer 2024, the Orihuela Costa tourist train will operate a service throughout the months of July and August. Tickets cost €6 per person and tickets remain valid for an entire day of unlimited travel.

The train, or “Orihuela Tren Turístico”, will run local transport services along the coastline, offering a super-fun way to see the sights and experience the sounds of the region.

Popular scheduled stops include Playa Flamenca beach (Cala Mosca), Zenia Boulevard shopping centre, La Zenia beach (Cala Bosque), and the beaches of Campoamor (Playa de la Glea).

With a comparatively short travel time comfortably under an hour, the Orihuela Costa tourist train provides a great way of exploring the local area even in the height of summer, as the movement of the vehicle provides a cooling Mediterranean Sea breeze even on the stillest of days.

Scheduled services from Campoamor depart at 11:00, 13:00, 16:00 and 18:00 each day from Monday to Friday.

Return services from Playa Flamenca depart at 12:00, 14:00, 17:00 and 19:00 each day from Monday to Friday.

The tourist train connects the urbanisations of La Regia, Cabo Roig and La Zenia, which allows visitors and tourists to visit the beaches of Cala Bosque, Cala Mosca and Playa de la Glea.

It's a fun way for everyone – both residents and tourists – to get around together with the possibility of getting to know the local area and facilitates improved mobility for people of all ages.

The travel experience is expected to prove exceptionally popular during the summer, and visitors can find out more from the official Orihuela Tren Turístico Facebook page. Alternatively, get in touch with the tourist office in Playa Flamenca for more information, or call +34 966 366 064.

  1. 6EUR per person.

    Once again Orihuela Council rips off the Costa.

    Its all very well “valid all day” but as it only runs three times a day its not such a good deal.

    It would be cheaper for a family to travel by taxi (if they could find one!).
