Beaches are tip-top

EASTER visitors to Benidorm will find the beaches in tip-top condition. Improvements large and small have been made to prepare for holidaymakers. For example, smart new furniture has been installed, as well as larger capacity waste for selective collection.

Other improvements have been made to the walkways on the accessible beaches by Elche Park, a very popular spot, and the first aid station will be staffed throughout the holidays. Lifeguards will be keeping everyone safe from new and renovated chairs on both the Levante, Poniente and Mal Pas beaches.

Sun loungers and umbrellas were removed from all the beaches in January and February, and the beaches received an indepth cleanse, sifting and turning over of the sand, allowing the ultra-violet rays of the sun to disinfect everything.

This work also serves to level out the beaches. Unlike other beaches on the Costa Blanca, Benidorm’s beaches have lifeguards and are cleaned every month of the year, but this work is intensified for certain busy periods. Benidorm’s beaches have quality certifications such as S for Tourism sustainability.

JAVEA mayor José Chulvi met Alicante government representative Pilar Bernabé to address matters of importance to the town. One of them is a project being worked on by the Ministry of Development to create a new exit from the AP7 by Pedreguer that will improve the connection between the town and this fast, free road, reducing the distance between Javea and the motorway by half.

Another matter they discussed is the possibility of obtaining grants for the refurbishment project for the San Bartolomé parish church fortress. This project is part of a new initiative by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism to improve the competitiveness of the tourist industry. While in the town, the representative visited the newly renovated roof.
