New streets of the La Hoya development in Torrevieja now have names

Torrevieja City Council has announced the names of new avenues and streets in the La Hoya development, which is now under construction and will eventually include 7,500 new residences and a slew of new streets. Many of these identities were revealed in a document posted on the City Council’s online notice board on Monday, May 19th.

To mention a few, the City Council has delved into the miscellaneous, as some were approved by the governing board and plenary session more than ten years ago (and even forty), but had yet to be implemented on the ground.

Several years

Calle Don Vicente Castell Ibáñez, named after the well-known merchant and mayor of Torrevieja, was approved by the City Council in 1981, but the reason for the delay in including the name in the street map is not included in the proposal; or Avenida Canónigo Antonio Pamies Andreu, approved by the governing body in 2008 by the local government chaired by Pedro Hernández Mateo at the proposal of the Socialist municipal group, in opposition at the time.

However, the majority of these roads were approved in 2014 for the Los Balcones residential development but were ultimately not assigned to avoid duplications, which are very common on Torrevieja’s street map. This map has had to name more than a hundred residential areas in the last three decades, often without coordination when the official on duty ran out of names for deities, tree species, composers, rivers, mountains, planets, capes, or cities in Spain.

The following roads were approved for Los Balcones in 2014: Avenida José Hernández Pamies, Avenida Almirante Blas de Lezo y Olavarrieta, Avenida Francisco Sarriá Payá, Calle José Manuel Gutiérrez Rodríguez, Calle Antonio Conesa Lorenzo, Calle María Garrigós de la Hoz, Avenida Leandro Baeza Pérez, Calle Cirilo Andreu Pérez, Avenida Jesús Baeza Mayol, and Calle Jaime Hernández Parre.

In 2014, the Torrevieja City Council staged a ceremony in the council chamber to deliver street plaques to their families.

GrupoTM, one of the development’s key developers, requested a plaza and an avenue named after its founders. This covers José Luis Serna Plaza and Avenida Doña Joaquina Lorente.

These are the initial roads in the development, which will cover 1.8 million square meters.

The development project is in its first of four planned phases, with a three-year completion date.

At the same time, the first residential complexes aimed at the residential tourism sector are being promoted, as is the 100,000-square-metre retail area adjacent to the CV-905 highway. This neighbourhood will feature Bauhaus enterprises along with several supermarket chains. TM is also completing the structure that will serve as its main headquarters.

The Census and Statistics Department is releasing its document to initiate a 20-day public comment period for feedback and suggestions.
