Why Torrevieja homes get this: Torrevieja's summer temperatures regularly exceed 35°C with high relative humidity from the salt lakes, creating a particularly oppressive combination that makes AC failure critical. Outdoor condenser units on sea-facing or lakeside balconies suffer accelerated corrosion from the saline aerosol. AC filters require cleaning 3–4 times per season due to salt and dust loading.
