Digital transformation and the promotion of the Transparency Portal have been key to positioning Torrevieja as a benchmark in Open Government, Citizen Participation, and Accountability. The City Council will continue to promote new innovation initiatives with the aim of improving public services, strengthening citizen participation, and keeping Torrevieja at the forefront of municipal transparency.

The Torrevieja City Council, through the Department of Equality and Women headed by Inmaculada Montesinos, joins the events of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which is commemorated on November 25.

The project “VIDA Floristería & Eventos”, an innovative space that combines floral art, sustainability and personalized experiences, has been awarded the first prize, endowed with 7,000 euros

It has received an investment of 1,350,000 euros, in a collaboration between the Valencian Regional Government, the Torrevieja City Council and the ADIEM Foundation. The mayor has announced that in 2026, alongside these new facilities, construction will begin on a residence for people with extreme support needs.

The City Council is providing the space to the Local Development Agency (ADL) to ensure that the service continues to be provided normally during the renovation work.

The Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, reports that the Torrevieja City Council, through the Department of NGOs and Volunteering, and once the bidding process has concluded, has provisionally awarded the contract to the company Francisco M. Juárez Pozuelo for the drafting of the basic and execution project, the health and safety plan and the waste management plan for the construction of the new Day Centre for people with Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases "Tomás Ballester Herrera".

The €32.67 million operation will allow for key projects such as the remodeling of the Eras de la Sal (Salt Mines), the paving of streets, the reorganization of the Port area, the renovation of the La Plasa building, and the Day Center for Alzheimer's patients.

Councillor Domingo Paredes denounces the Ministry of Finance's delay in updating the 2025 advance payments, a situation that directly harms the residents of Torrevieja.

The contract is based on the identification of strategic projects of the city, within the framework of its Urban Agenda, likely to attract funding from European, national, regional or provincial funds, analyzing the possible calls published. To guarantee the professionalization of the staff, it is required that a coordinator, two consultants of European grants with experience and a specialist in public space and urban innovation be assigned to the contract.

In this way, the center will be used as a family meeting point, a residence for people with functional diversity and a residence for functional diversity for children and adolescents.

In the Extraordinary Plenary Session held today, the modification of credits to the 2024 Budget of the Torrevieja City Council, which amounts to 13,970,791 euros, and of the “Joaquín Chapaprieta” Municipal Institute of Culture, for an amount of 330,000 euros, was initially approved. In total, a budget modification of 14,300,791 euros, which included votes in favor of the Municipal Group of the Popular Party and VOX and votes against the PSOE and Sueña Torrevieja.

In the Ordinary Plenary Session held last Monday, April 29, the initial approval of the Ordinance Regulating Works and Services in the Public Domain and Use dependent on the Torrevieja City Council was carried out, which has the character of a general regulatory provision, in the exercise of ordinary municipal jurisdiction that regulates the aspects of intervention and control for the drafting and execution of Urbanization Projects and Ordinary Works Projects.

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.
