N-332 open again
THE Mascarat tunnels on the N332 road between Calpe and Altea are open to traffic again after being closed for over a week.
Traffic had been diverted through the AP7 motorway during the roadworks that began on Sunday May 14 and Calpe Town Hall announced the reopening of the affected stretch on the N332 on Tuesday May 23.
Work was initially expected to take one week to complete, but several difficulties led to it taking slightly longer than planned.

ON Monday May 22 the monthly meeting was well attended at the Casa de Cultura in Alfaz del Pi despite the heavy rain. Nearly €150 were raised through the monthly raffle for their Charity Fund.
After the meeting 20 members enjoyed lunch at the Oasis Restaurant in La Nucia and on Friday May 26 up to 17 members met for lunch at Mar de España in Albir. Not very good for the waistline, but good for socialising!
Next month’s Wine and Dine will be on June 23 at Restaurante Xorta near
Guadalest providing members with an opportunity to enjoy a wander around the village or to visit the many interesting museums such as the Salt and Pepper Museum and the Miniature Museum, as well as the Motorbike Museum.
The next General Meeting will be on Monday June 26 at 11am in the Auditorium at the Casa de Cultura, Alfaz del Pi. Visitors are always welcome as are new members. Membership is just €10 for the year.

The works in the Mascarat area had been underway for several weeks, but until the total cut on May 14 traffic had been maintained with one active lane through the tunnels.
The total interruption of traffic and diversion through the AP7 was a major drawback for communications between Calpe and Alicante or any other town in the Marina Baixa as there is no direct access to the AP7, which made it necessary to drive to Benissa, ie towards Valencia, and then double back.
The slogan ‘Teulada Moraira para enmarcar’ (‘Framing Teulada Moraira’) with different idyllic screenshots of both towns will be shown on 12 screens in the main Correos offices in Valencia, Zaragoza, Madrid and Bilbao for six months.
These offices were chosen due to the large number of people who pass through their doors more than 88 million in total in 2022.
Teulada Moraira Tourism councillor Susanne Katzgrau defined the campaign as “a different and effective channel for promoting tourism in our municipality” aimed at “attracting national tourism while promoting the deseasonalisation of tourism in Teulada Moraira.”
