We were lucky that we did not have to pick up any other guests in Torrevieja. This reduced the travel time, and we ended up having more time in Santa Pola. We started at the Salina Rosa de Torrevieja with a local guide from Cuba, who informed us very competently about salt production. Then we went to the port of Santa Pola for the short crossing to Tabarca. Dani, our guide, took us on a small and informative tour and gave us additional tips on how to spend the good 3 hours on the island. The return trip with the glass-bottom boat to Santa Pola took place at 4:15 PM. There was again a small tour, and I explored the fortress on my own. Everything was very well organized, and Dani's explanations were helpful. A great excursion!

It was a nice excursion, especially the time in Tabarca (and the boat trip to it) was a pleasant activity. The pink lagoon was also interesting to see once. The time in Santa Pola was very short (45 min). Despite being a bit ill that day, guide Karen guided and informed us well throughout the day.
