Parking at Torrevieja Port will reopen on Wednesday, April 9th

The Torrevieja Port car park will reopen to the public on Wednesday, April 9th, following the completion of the remodelling. It is now operational again, having undergone a complete renovation and boasting a new, modern, accessible, and effective infrastructure, following a year and a half of work. The parking lot, which is situated adjacent to the port and spans a single floor, provides a total of 640 spaces. Of these, 18 are equipped with 22 kW electric charging capabilities, 18 are designated for individuals with reduced mobility, and 2 additional spaces are available for individuals with reduced mobility and are also provided with 22 kW electric charging capabilities. It also includes an intelligent access system that utilises license plate reading to expedite user entry and departure without the necessity of tickets, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and promoting sustainability. Telpark’s objective is to fortify its backing for the region and encourage local commerce during this critical period through this early reopening.

The car park is equipped with a two-lane car entrance to enhance efficiency, and a third barrier is reserved for season ticket holders to prevent turnaround delays during the summer. Additionally, there are two lanes at the vehicle departure. Seven pedestrian entrances and one lift have been incorporated, with an additional two pedestrian entrances and four lifts to be added at a later date.
Telpark, the parking management company, has initiated a special promotion to commemorate its reopening on Wednesday, April 9th. This promotion enables users to experience the Express Ticket at a 50% discount from the base price of €1.90 until May 8th. The Express Ticket also enables users to access exclusive promotions and manage their stay swiftly through the app. The Telpark website can be accessed here https://www.empark.com/en/

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.
