Government go-ahead for the environmental effect report to double the Torrevieja N-332

N332 Traffic

The Ministry of Transport got a positive Environmental Impact Report from the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge for the project to make the N-332 highway through Torrevieja twice as long.

The first big step towards finishing the work has been taken. It took six years to write the basic project and do the environmental review.

Now, the ministry will work on putting together the final project and showing it to the public so that bids can be made for doing the job.

Traffic jams


The variant only has one lane going in each way, and it carries 40,000 cars a day, or more than 50,000 cars in the summer. This makes access roads like the CV-95 at Hospital-La Veleta or the CV-905-Calle Orihuela very crowded every day.

The project will cost 55 million euros, which includes VAT. It will add two lanes, one in each direction, to a 4.47-kilometer stretch of the variant between the Hospital’s CV-95 road connections and the bridge on Avenida de Rosa Mazón (from kilometre 53.690 to 58.160 of the N-332).

Bárbara Soler, the PSOE spokesperson, said that this was because the PP didn’t follow urban planning laws in the 1980s and 1990s by not respecting the road’s right-of-way when they approved urban development projects. This is because the same road has been duplicated as a park route between Guardamar and Torrevieja and between Torrevieja and Pilar de la Horadada for more than ten years.

A man who defrauded his ex-partner of 8,700 euros arrested in Alicante

Police National

According to a statement from Police Headquarters, a 57-year-old man in the town of Alicante was arrested by National Police officers on suspicion of opening an account in his ex-partner’s name on a popular online e-commerce platform and making 8,700 euros in purchases without paying for them.

After a woman complained that she had been duped by a reputable online e-commerce platform after receiving many letters demanding payment for multiple orders that totalled over 8,700 euros, the inquiry got underway.

The victim said that because she had not made any purchases or registered for an account on the platform, she was unable to identify these orders as her own.

Investigators were able to identify the suspected fraudster—a man the victim had previously had a romantic relationship with—after examining all of the victim’s submitted papers and gathering a number of pertinent pieces of information.

According to the same sources, the agents’ investigations revealed that the suspect, who is of Spanish descent, created an account using his ex-partner’s personal information, provided false bank information, and designated his own house as the delivery address for the shipments.

All of the purchases would have been done by the same individual because the investigators were positive that the user and creator of the account on the popular platform was the subject of the inquiry. After being recognised, he was found and taken into custody on suspicion of fraud and document fabrication.

Tom Jones

Tom Jones continues to prove that his voice and magnetism are unstoppable, as seen by his more than 60-year career, more than 100 million recordings sold, and a repertoire that has left its stamp on music history. Hits like What’s New Pussycat?, Delilah, and It’s Not Unusual have stood the test of time, and his most recent compositions have won universal praise from critics.


The 84-year-old British performer is still a major player in the business and tours the world. He became the oldest musician to have an album of new material debut at number one in the UK charts with his most recent album, Surrounded By Time.

Alicante will get ready to receive one of the greatest musical giants on August 13th. As part of the Alicante Goldest concert series, Tom Jones will play at the Alicante Bullring.
