A SWIMMING pool in Torrevieja has gone viral on TikTok because if you see it from the sky on Google Maps it looks like a map of Spain.

A great way to escape the summer heat, apart from the best beaches in Spain, are swimming pools, whether natural or artificial. But now the one in Torrevieja has gone viral for its curious shape.

"Do you know what the most curious pool in Spain is?”.

It is a swimming pool located in a complex on Calle Finlandia, close to what is known as Playa de los Locos, in Torrevieja. The special thing about this pool is that it is shaped like the Iberian Peninsula, but the big thing about it is that they have even separated Portugal from Spain by building a 'border'.

The season will begin with the play ‘La isla del aire’ on October 6, with the actresses Vicky Peña and Núria Espert, "this performance will be Nuria Espert's farewell as an actress, who is one of the most important in this country," added Julián Sáez, cultural programmer of the Gran Teatro.

In the theatre section, “there will also be classics like David Alonso's “La Celestina” and Romeo and Juliet” explained Ruiz.

The musical section will include eight performances, aimed at both family and adult audiences, including the premiere in Spain for the first time of the North American show, Forever Tango.
