Arts in Altea
THE demand for oneofakind, handcrafted products is very much alive, and this year marks the 40th anniversary of Altea’s Craft Exhibition or Mostra d’Artesania 2023, a tradition in this arty town for Easter week and during the summertime.
from April 5 to 9 (Easter Week), from approximately 12.00 to 10.00pm and from July 1 to September 10 from 7pm to 00.30.
The Green Benidorm proposal is hoping to obtain €7.5 million from Next Generation Funds to finance projects to boost that will modernise tourism, improve the environmental aspects of the city to diversify the travel market, address the effects of climate change, organise the territory, improve quality of life, recover public spaces and make them available to people and improve everyday economic, environmental and social sustainability.
YOUNG entrepreneurs in Teulada Moraira will benefit from a new initiative to encourage coworking spaces for small businesses and independent entrepreneurs to get their work done and participate in the local business community.
The council wants to ensure that young entrepreneurs have the necessary equipment and provide an opportunity to work without interruption in a public space with free internet access.
The premises currently allocated to the project is Classroom 4 in the Espai La Senieta building in Moraira, which has been chosen because it is immediately available. The council also intends to make improvements to a building in Teulada to be used as a second coworking space.
The project is designed to meet current needs in response to the need for new technologies and the trend for remote work, which requires at least a computer and an internet connection. But not all young people have the luxury of office space. From now on, this kind of service will be covered by the local authority.
This year there will be a series of in person workshops to take place every Wednesday during the summer to celebrate this important milestone. The workshops will be an opportunity to learn from the artisans responsible for the stalls.
A total of 18 carefully selected craft stalls will take part in this year’s initiatives, displaying unique artistic, creative goods made skilfully with highquality raw materials such as wood, ceramic, precious metals, leather, and more.
The 40th edition of the Mostra will take place
The stalls have been selected from a total of 24 candidates by a jury made up of members of UNART Union of Artisans of Altea and municipal officials.
The projects will impact areas such as Moralet Park, also protecting the beach from climate change with a dune. Among the major initiatives will be the electric mobility plan for the town, new lighting and refurbishment of decorative lighting.
