The Councilor for Sports of the Torrevieja City Council, Diana Box Alonso, reports that this year the Sports Tourism activity has taken an important and new turn, since it begins in an extraordinary way with the presence of several teams carrying out their sports stages in Torrevieja.

In this way, the Sports City begins the month of January with several Norwegian and Finnish Athletics clubs training in its facilities, all of them carrying out their sports holidays with various modalities: running, long jump, high jump, and javelin throws and weight. During their training you can see how they enjoy the climate we have in our city, which offers them sunny days, and although they have experienced some days with wind and cold, for them the training conditions are quite good.

Diana Box has emphasized that January has always been a quite complicated month to attract sports tourism, but the commercial and marketing actions carried out by the Torrevieja City Council through the Departments of Tourism and Sports, Generalitat Valenciana , Provincial Council of Alicante with its Costa Blanca brand, and all the productive sectors involved in commerce and tourism, are bearing fruit and, each year, not only are the numbers of visitors for tourist and sporting reasons exceeded, but also It is possible to deseasonalize and gradually fill the gaps in the most complicated months for the tourist market.

The football clubs Pax, Fortuna Be Quick and Victoria, all of them are carrying out various training sessions in the Ciudad Deportiva and have played a triangular match between them.
