Culture in Torrevieja comes by the hand of important events such as international literary competitions and contests of sculpture, journalism, etc.

There are also artistic competitions and musical contests in which participants from all parts of Spain come to take part. Drama, conferences, art exhibitions and festive events are organised throughout the year by different institutions and associations.

The Diego Ramírez award is perhaps the best example of the love that the people of Torrevieja profess to this land. It is the annual award given to the person or institution that has dedicated the biggest effort to improve life in Torrevieja during the year.
