Los Altos property: between Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa
Los Altos is a residential district on the southern edge of Torrevieja, about 2 km from the Orihuela Costa beaches, including Punta Prima, which holds a Blue Flag for 2026. Officially, Spain’s statistics office (INE) places it within Orihuela Costa, in the population unit “Balcones y Los Altos” (357 registered inhabitants), yet it is usually marketed as part of Torrevieja. The boundary between Torrevieja and Orihuela runs through the area, so the exact municipality of a given property has to be checked in the land registry (cadastre), something your lawyer will confirm before you sign.

Buying in Los Altos: taxes and paperwork
Whether a home falls under Torrevieja or Orihuela, it is in Alicante province and therefore in the Valencian Community. A resale pays 9% transfer tax (ITP) on deeds signed from 1 June 2026; a new build pays 10% VAT plus 1.4% stamp duty (AJD). Once notary, land registry and gestoría fees are added, a resale typically costs around 10.5 to 11.5% on top of the price.

You will also need an NIE: we guide you through it and through any power of attorney, and we recommend an independent lawyer.
