Eleven tourist apartments in Santa Pola and four in Elche are removed from the tourism registry

Santa Pola Flats

The Valencian Community of Tourist Use residences (VUT) Tourism Registry is being updated by the Generalitat, which means that residences that have not submitted the necessary paperwork to stay in the registry will be removed from the census. Only four properties will be removed from the census, despite the fact that 803 will be deregistered throughout the province of Alicante. This is because the municipality of Elche is wagering more and more on the tourism industry. Eleven are in the Santa Pola case.

They have been found in the Marismas urbanisation, Playa Paraíso II, Paraíso I, and Gran Alacant, as well as in other already remote streets. In this way, the fishing village experiences exponential growth in the summer due to the influx of tourists from the rest of the country or second homes in the area, primarily from Elche.

When it comes to Elche, there are four residences in the hamlets, which are also the locations that see the most tourists during the busiest times of the year. Two in Arenales del Sol and two in L’Altet in this instance. The first apartment is located on Valladolid Street in the Infinity View residential area, while the second is located on Algeciras Street in the Ocean View Phase 1 development. L’Altet has two locations: one on a remote piece of rural property and the other on Vereda del Sur Street in the Los Limoneros development.

Only 200 of the 950 tourist apartments in Elche are now occupied.


Lastly, the outlying districts of Elche are where the majority of these tourist apartments are located. There are 950 VUT registered in the city, the City Council said, in reference to the housing issue that has been the focus of considerable discussion in recent months. According to this viewpoint, Elche is not a tourist destination that poses a problem and these serve to enhance the local hotel offerings. Only 200 of the 950 tourist units that have been registered are currently in use. Of these, 116 are in the city, 86 are in La Marina, 15 are in El Altet, 12 are in Jubalcoi, 671 are in Arenales, and the remainder are in other distant regions. However, the City Council last year approved the first building permission in the city for a particular tourist housing complex consisting of fourteen flats on Calle Beethoven.

Woman arrested after throwing two dogs from an eighth-floor flat in Alicante

The National Police have detained a 53-year-old woman in Alicante for reportedly throwing two Yorkshire terriers out the window of her eighth-floor home, supposedly because she refused to take them for a walk.  The Local Police arrived to identify and recover the bodies of the two dogs.

    The animal’s owner, who appeared in court yesterday morning, Monday 24th March, revealed to police officers that the incident occurred at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday on Calle Sol Naciente in the Alicante neighbourhood of Albufereta, from where she was later detained.

    Following a report of the event, a National Police patrol responded to the area.  They interrogated many witnesses, who claimed that the now-detained woman threw several objects into the street.

One killed in accident near the AP-7 exit at Ondara

Denia Lorry Crash

The firefighters at the Dénia station worked a long night, not only extracting the deceased driver but also preventing the fire from spreading to the two colliding vehicles.
The images depict how the smaller vehicle, whose occupant was killed instantaneously, was transformed into an unrecognisable mass of metal.

This morning was an extremely difficult and busy night for the Provincial Fire Consortium, particularly the firemen at the Dénia fire station. They were hard at work responding to the accident at the AP-7 exit in Ondara, on the bridge over the N-332, where a horrific collision occurred. As stated by this newspaper, a huge trailer crashed with a smaller crane vehicle, killing the driver instantaneously.

In addition, the two occupants of the larger truck were injured and transported to Dénia Hospital. Heavy traffic bottlenecks ensued.

Firefighters, who provided these photographs depicting how the smaller vehicle had been reduced to an unrecognisable pile of twisted metal, had to remove the deceased, stop diesel spills, keep both vehicles from catching fire, and clear the route.

Meanwhile, Guardia Civil and Local Police officials directed traffic coming from the highway, Dénia, and other nearby towns. The First Security Force’s traffic investigation department has launched an investigation to identify the cause of the collision, which saw the two vehicles collide nearly head on.

Residents of San Miguel demand more public housing

House Construction

The San Miguel de Salinas Residents’ Association has filed an appeal against the final approval of the third revision to the SUS-A partial plan “Los Invernaderos.” This appeal comes after the group’s 21 objections were dismissed.

The alteration they oppose proposed increasing density and consolidating it in eight towers with ground floors and seven high-rise structures in the development’s proximity to the town centre, as well as situating social housing on the same land, they claim.

The number of dwellings in this partial plan has risen from 1,582 to 2,204 since its first approval. They protest that only 90 units are classified as public housing.

According to the association’s reasoning, the land earmarked for social housing should be 30% of the residential buildable area in the area, which equates to 48,886 m2. These 90 reserved homes total slightly over 11,000 m2.

According to the association’s statement, the legal department’s reaction is that this rule applies to “rural land that will be included in new development projects,” which is incorrect because the area is already heavily urbanised.

Another criticism raised by this group is that social housing not be concentrated on the same plot, as this would be a “segregationist” decision with no integration.

They also point out that the sector is divided into two half by a promenade, with no infrastructure connecting the two regions of development, allowing people to move more freely.
