One side of the town is fine.

Whilst the new dual carriageway section of the N332 between Pilar de la Horadada and Torrevieja has eased the traffic problems there, the delays in completing the work from Torrevieja to Guardamar del Segura are causing major traffic jams. Tailbacks of eight kilometres have been reported at peak times between the exit from Torrevieja and the first roundabout at Guardamar.

So unless you want to be stuck in traffic during the heat of the day, this route is probably best avoided.
