According to Ana Blasco, the Councillor for Citizen Security, the growing number of caravans in Cabo de Santa Pola was always a worry for the governing team because it caused problems without being possible to do anything about it.

Blasco said that they are already starting to see the results of the work that the Local Police and the Traffic Subsector of the Civil Guard of Alicante have been doing together since October, when they agreed to a new set of rules. This deal, which was approved by the whole City Council, spells out what each security group is responsible for in different parts of the municipality, like the port roads, the Camino del Cabo, and the Camino del Faro.

With the new protocol, the Local Police are now in charge of all key areas. This means that they can work more effectively in the most sensitive areas. One of the first steps that was taken was to put up signs at the two main entrances to the Cabo path, at the Cadena and at the Virgen del Rosario chapel, making it clear that cars wider than 2.20 meters are not allowed. This directly affects motorhomes. Blasco also said that the local police patrols are running a campaign to make caravan users more aware of the fact that they are not allowed to use the road and to remind them how important it is to follow the rules in a natural area that is protected.

Meanwhile, José Miguel Zaragoza, the Chief Commissioner of the Local Police, said that these steps have led to a “zero presence of caravans” in the Cape area, though cars still drive in sometimes because they don’t see the signs. When this happens, the patrols act right away to let people know that it’s not allowed. Zaragoza has also said that protecting the environment is very important because of the chance of fires and harm to the protected plants and animals in the area. To sum up, the Local Police of Santa Pola and the Local Police of Elche will work together to protect the whole coastline below the cape.

The Popular Party and Vox voted against the Compromís move that would have given women the right to choose to end their pregnancy. It has been a party stand that all women have the right to choose an abortion. It has also spoken out against the problems women have getting an abortion in state hospitals in Elche and the lack of information they are given. Esther Díez has asked the Ministry of Health to protect women’s right to have abortions in public places and to promote sexual education in schools so that students can learn how to avoid getting pregnant through sexual relationships.

The socialist councillor Mariano Valera has asked that women who are considering abortion get professional help with their mental health and that health workers be trained in this area. Valera has supported the “essential” need to make the public health system more humane and up-to-date so that abortions can be done safely.

We support the need to make the public system more humane and up-to-date so that people can safely get pregnant.

In response, Aurora Rodil, a spokesperson for Vox, has stayed strong because she is a strong pro-lifer and defended that stance in the plenary session. Rodil said that the offer from the Compromís is “an apology for the cruel murder of innocent children.” She has also said that doctors who do abortions are “qualified murderers.” Along these lines, Rodil has said that ending pregnancies has become more common in families with children who have Down syndrome, which a Vox representative called “genocide.” Aurora Rodil brought up the fact that her group is working on safety plans for moms who are alone.

Pablo Ruz, the mayor of Elche, also spoke out in favour of doctors who don’t want to perform abortions during his turn to explain his vote. It has been said by Ruz that ending a pregnancy is a failure of society. This is why the mayor attacked Mariano Valera, a leftist councillor, for supporting abortion even though he has a “religious past.”

From Norwich Airport, Ryanair has added more flights to the famous holiday spot.

This summer, the Irish airline giant has added a third trip a week from Norwich to Alicante.

Along with Ryanair’s current Wednesday and Sunday flights, the new Friday service will run from June 6 to October 24.

The flight on Friday will leave Alicante at 11:20 a.m. and go to Norwich. It will make a quick turn around and come back to Costa Blanca at 1:55 p.m.

On March 30, flights to Malta will start flying again every two weeks, and on March 31, flights to Faro will start flying again every two weeks.

The manager of Norwich Airport, Richard Pace, said, “We are thrilled that Ryanair is adding a third weekly service to Alicante this summer.”

“This extra flight gives travellers more options and shows that Ryanair is still committed to the route.”

“It’s great news for vacationers from Norwich who want easy ways to get around.”

Most of the increase in passengers at Norwich Airport can be traced back to the start of the Ryanair flights in April of last year.

During the summer of 2024, Ryanair carried almost 63,000 people, which was more than the original prediction of 60,000.
