New health centre

THE new Pau II health centre in Alicante has begun the construction process.

The future health centre is increasing the Primary Care benefits to the citizens in an area of Alicante that has experienced a significant population increase in recent years due to the increase in construction in the area.

The area of influence of the centre will be around 16,620 inhabitants, a figure that could exceed 20,000 in the future because this residential area of the capital continues to expand.

The centre will be built on a plot ceded by the city council and access, both to consultations and to the ER and to the car park will be via Avenida Cardenal Francisco Alvarez. The estimated area of the centre is 5,500 square metres, to which must be added another 1,800 square metres of parking, and will involve an investment of €10.7 million. The work is expected to be completed in 26 months.

The new health centre will consist of a ground floor and two upper floors, in addition to the parking area, with 56 surface spaces.

The people of Pinoso have always commemorated the event on special anniversaries, but it was in 1997 when the best way of celebrating was discovered with Town Day and the Pinoso Fair. The events continue today.

In this time, little by little the event has grown with the incorporation of new activities in a bid to raise awareness of the cultural, tourist and gastronomic resources of the town.

Pinoso is a traditional Spanish town in the countryside of the mountainous Alicante and Murcia border. As well as its astounding natural beauty, Pinoso is also known for its fine wine production as well as its marble and rock salt.

Pinoso has a long history, and it dates back to the Iberians although it didn’t stay Iberian. The Romans settled here and later the Moors called Pinoso home during Arabian occupation.
