The 200,000 euro buoys contract for the beaches of Torrevieja is up for tender

In order to improve the maritime beaconing of the beaches and the remainder of the municipality of Torrevieja’s coastline—elements that visually divide the area where bathing and swimming are allowed for users of coastal environments—the City Council has posted the tender on the State Procurement portal.

Installing the required beaconing material, maintaining it, replacing any missing or damaged components, removing it, and cleaning it are all included in this contract. The beaconing also encompasses the swimming channel at Los Náufragos beach and the maritime channels for beaching and launching recreational boats and floating objects. According to the report, the goal of this beaconing is to coordinate and make compatible the many recreational uses of the beaches, separating the area designated for bathers from the other nautical activities and boat traffic.

The agreement will run for four years, but if the circumstances warrant it, it may be extended for an additional year. Four yearly payments of 40,061.21 euros each make up the base tender budget of 160,244.82 euros. Given the four years that were originally intended and the potential one-year extension, the contract’s estimated worth is 200,306 euros.

Four years

According to the City Council’s proposed paper, the buoyancy is being built along the entire Torrevieja coastline to organise and make compatible the various recreational uses with areas designated for bathers. In order to define the bathing area, outside buoys will be positioned along the entire coastline, with a distance of roughly 150 to 200 meters from the beach and 140 to 200 meters between buoys. To achieve this, 61 yellow buoys measuring 600 mm in diameter will be placed, scattered as follows: 14 buoys will be placed from the entrance to the Acequión de La Mata canal to the Cabo Cervera cove; 10 buoys will be placed from the Cabo Cervera cove to the Salaret point; and 6 buoys will be placed from the Salaret point to the Palangre cove on Los Locos beach. There are four buoys from Palangre Cove to Punta Margallo, eight buoys from Punta Margallo to the port of Torrevieja’s eastern jetty, eight buoys from the port of Torrevieja’s western jetty to Calle Los Montesinos, and eleven buoys in total from Calle Los Montesinos to Punta Prima.

Couple jailed for robberies using the “hug” method in Malaga and Alicante

The Guardia Civil has arrested a man and a woman, both 38 years old, for allegedly committing six crimes in Malaga and Alicante using the “hug” approach. After appearing before a judge, they were ordered to be held in custody.

On May 1st in Calpe (Alicante), police from the investigation area of the town’s main post saw a suspicious car driving at a low speed. The vehicle’s occupants were particularly interested in older folks passing through the region.

Given these odd conditions, investigators checked the vehicle’s database and determined it was associated with previous crimes. They then identified the occupants, verifying that each had an arrest warrant for a robbery committed weeks earlier in Marbella, according to a Guardia Civil statement.

Key information concerning the arrest:

A 38-year-old man and woman were arrested for six crimes in Malaga and Alicante.
They employed the hugging approach to perpetrate crimes.
They have been linked to a violent robbery in Marbella.
The embrace technique is a frequent practice among organised crime groups.

A couple arrested for robbery with the hug method

While police were conducting the arrest, it was discovered that the same couple had committed a theft in Calpe, stealing two gold chains from a tourist by fondling and personal contact. A thorough examination linked them to four other similar events since April.

Significant economic damage

Several high-end watches were violently robbed in Jávea, Pilar de la Horadada, and Marbella. Jewellery and watches were also stolen in La Nucía, Calpe, and Pedreguer. The anticipated financial loss surpasses €140,000. Both detainees were taken before Denia Investigating Court No. 2 and sentenced to prison.

Criminal organisations’ methods of operation

The hug method is a popular tactic among organised travel groups.
They prefer elderly persons or those in vulnerable positions as their victims.
They distract their victims with phoney gestures of affection before stealing things.
