Dénia’s 20 kilometres of beaches will offer more amenities

Along its roughly 20 km of coastline, Dénia City Council wants to offer a full range of services on the beaches. The contract to add six new rental stations for hammocks, shade, pedal boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards has just gone out to bid. Furthermore, a second contract that was just put out to bid by the council also calls for installing bathrooms on the beaches, with more to be added this season.
As stated by Councillor for Beaches Pepe Doménech, the goal of the beach services tender is to cover the areas of the coast that were left without beach services (shade, water sports, and hammocks) last summer because the city council’s subsequent tender was either abandoned or the companies that applied failed to meet the minimum score.
Since most of the beach service jobs that the Dénia City Council put out in 2024 were not awarded, interested businesses are now able to submit bids for them. In particular, the following:
Playa de les Deveses
Shade stand and hammock. situated close to Calle Riu Grande (Restaurante Almar).
Playa de les Bovetes
shade stand and hammock. In the vicinity of l’Assagador del Palmar.
CAP stand, paddleboarding, canoeing/kayaking, and roller skating. In the vicinity of Pasarell Street.
Playa de les Marines
shade stand and hammock. Located on Calle Esparver Street
shade stand and hammock. Located atop Sant Pere’s Assagador.
a swimming pool, paddleboarding, canoes and kayaks, and pedal boats. Located on Calle Boga
Only three beach service lots were awarded in the previous year’s tender, which also included the beach bars: the aquatic platform at Punta del Raset, the Raset paddle and kayak stand, and the hammock stand in front of the Los Ángeles Hotel.
The new tender is expected to cost 58,500 euros in total this summer.
Additional toilets
On the other hand, the council has put out a second contract for the installation of beachside restrooms. The service will be provided between June 1st and October 12th under this contract, which is valued €34,000—12 more days than the previous year.
Two additional toilets have also been added, one in Les Deveses and another near the end of Calle Les Rotes, which is adjacent to Playa Les Arenetes.

Two years in prison for smashing a glass in a young man’s face

The Alicante Court has sentenced a 33-year-old man to two years in prison for assaulting another man and causing facial injuries by breaking a glass during a dispute at a nightclub in Aspe.
The defendant, who was 27 years old at the time, arrived at the establishment with three other unidentified individuals at approximately 5:10 a.m. on February 17th, 2019. The altercation ensued within the establishment.
The victim was involved in an incident with the four for reasons that remain unexplained. The defendant struck him in the face with a glass, resulting in a fracture that needed medical attention, and the four individuals who were present at the time began punching and shoving him.
The victim, who was 22 years old at the time of the incident, required 63 days to recuperate from the injuries sustained in the attack, according to the sentence issued by a court in the Tenth Section.
At the commencement of the April 14th hearing, the defendant acknowledged the assault after reaching a resolution with respect to the allegations. Consequently, the sentence determines that he is guilty of the offence of bodily injury with deformity. Consequently, he is sentenced to two years in prison, with the sentence suspended.
Additionally, the court ruling mandates that the victim be prohibited from approaching within 300 metres for a period of three years and that he be awarded €9,000 in compensation, with the obligation to pay the sum in monthly instalments of €500.
