Every hotel in Elche is “fully booked” this weekend

There are more than 5,000 beds in hotels in Elche, both in the city heart and in the surrounding areas. Almost all of them are booked. Irene Ruiz, who is the councillor for tourism, said that all of the available beds should be taken this weekend, when the Mariological Congress and the Ultrahélike ultra-distance test are held. Additionally, Ruiz said that these events will be added to the “Mystery Man” show or the already sold-out concerts by Marina Reche at the Gran Teatro and Jay-Jay Johanson at l’Escorxador.
Pablo Ruz, the mayor of Elche, said that these numbers show that the city needs more hotels. People like Ruz have said that the local government needs to keep supporting an events policy that brings in tourists and makes hotel chains “set their sights” on the town. In this case, the Mayor said that they ended talks with companies that wanted to move to Elche at the International Tourism Fair, even though Ruz said they were sorry they didn’t have more hotel land.

Alicante is now part of TUI’s city break package

With the addition of Alicante and Salzburg to its portfolio of city breaks, TUI UK&I has given its customers even more options when it comes to vacation planning.
There are currently 57 city breaks available for tourists looking for quick vacations thanks to TUI’s quick expansion of its city break packages, which has seen the addition of six more cities since January.

Travellers can enjoy a combination of leisurely beach days and exploring the city of Alicante, which is teeming with amazing architecture from the Mediaeval to the Modernist periods. There are lots of local bars to check out along the waterfront, and it’s easy to go from the beach to the bustling city centre.
Salzburg is a vibrant city with a wealth of museums, culture, stunning mountain views, and architecture that transports you to a Renaissance painting. Salzburg has a lot to offer tourists of all stripes, including a large number of local taverns, beer, and traditional food vendors.

And since Salzburg is the birthplace of the Sound of Music, there’s no better way to commemorate the movie’s 60th anniversary than to take a trip there and experience the beloved 1959 musical.

Family rescued from house fire in Villajoyosa

Yesterday afternoon, Monday 31st March, a fire started on the bottom floor of a house near the railway bridge in Villajoyosa, forcing a family to evacuate. However, no one there needed medical care, according to municipal sources.
The local police, the Guardia Civil, firefighters from the Provincial Consortium attached to the Benidorm fire station, and an ambulance—which was eventually unnecessary—were among the emergency services sent to the scene.
Throughout the late afternoon, a large portion of the town could see the smoke column, which was coming from the Costes district.

Benidorm emergency services rescue Brit from an estate agents sign

When a 27-year-old British tourist climbed from an upper floor to an estate agency sign while on holiday in Benidorm, he became stuck and had no idea how to get out. The tourist stood impassively over the business sign a few meters above the ground, while around him, on central Calle Gambo, curious people and police officers gathered and cordoned off the immediate area. This unexpected deployment of emergency personnel included both local and national police and firefighters.
The man was left lying on the sign for a short while until a fire engine ladder finally came up to the sign and assisted him in getting out.
Police sources claim that the tourist received no punishment for the event, not even an arrest or fine. This pedestrian and commercial route, which links Plaza Triangular with Calle Martínez Alejost, returned to normal whilsts some locals used their mobile phones to record the events.
