Public libraries in Torrevieja
These include a foreign language lending section
The main library in Torrevieja is located in a building which was originally used as a school in Calle Chapaprieta nº 39, and occupies the spot where the eminent 20th-century politician lived before going on to become a government minister in Spain’s second Republic.
