The service will be expanded with ten new licenses in the coming months, eight of which are soon to be awarded and two are in process, for a total of 16 new licenses.

A significant number of seagulls, swifts, kestrels, etc. also entered the Municipal Shelter and, with the collaboration of the municipal biologist, were transferred to the "Santa Faz" Wildlife Recovery Center in Alicante.

The mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, highlights “the importance of being trained and prepared to guarantee the well-being of marine animals”

The project will improve accessibility, reorganize the transport network, and adapt the infrastructure to the new concession.

The parish priest of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, José Antonio Gea, will travel to the Municipal Shelter to bless the dogs and cats of the center.

Environmental educators visited the festival areas, encouraging residents to recycle glass to meet the recycling challenge set by Ecovidrio. The residents of Torrevieja recycled a total of 3,153,867 kilograms of glass containers. This means that each resident recycled an average of 31.4 kilograms of glass. Torrevieja has an average of 100 inhabitants per container, and currently has a total of 996 glass recycling containers installed throughout the municipality.

Eduardo Dolón announces that the service improvements will be maintained, with 32 buses —seven of them electric—, the same routes, frequencies and technology planned in the original contract

The mayor has reported that all the accommodation facilities (habitats) are finished, so this week all the animals from the current shelter will be moved to this new area.

The service will be provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Vehicles may park for a maximum of two hours, with parking controlled by the Local Police license plate reader. Outside of these hours, parking will be prohibited, and starting next Monday, July 7, anyone who fails to comply with the signs will be fined by the local police.

The duration of the contract will be four years plus a possible one-year extension, with the base tender budget being 1,198,143 euros (VAT included).

The overall action will involve an estimated municipal investment of one million euros, and will involve the adaptation and landscaping of this entire space for the enjoyment of citizens.

Thanks to this initiative, the citizens of Torrevieja will be able to learn about the importance of recycling glass and how much each individual contributes with this simple gesture.

The maximum individual amount of aid will be 75 euros per month for those students who use school transport 2 trips per day, for a maximum period of 10 months, between September 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024.
