On February 21st, at the International Auditorium, the National Competition of Murgas and Chirigotas “City of Torrevieja” will be presented, one of the great carnival shows of the province

The partial opening includes the section from the "Bella Lola" plateau/viewpoint to the next plateau towards the lighthouse, with an approximate length of another 250 meters.

The contract will be awarded through an open procedure, evaluating both the offered fee and the quality of the investment, operation, and management project, as well as the proven experience in managing markets or similar facilities. The concession is granted for a period of 10 years, with the possibility of two one-year extensions. The City Council is allocating €150,000 in aid to the merchants of the Mercado de Abastos (Central Market) affected by the works.

Carnival 2026 officially kicks off tomorrow, Friday, January 30th, with the opening proclamation and the premiere of the documentary film "Carnival 2025," which will take place at the Torrevieja Municipal Theatre. The Torrevieja Carnival is establishing itself as one of the most spectacular and well-attended festive events in the Valencian Community.

This is the second time that the Torrevieja Carnival has paraded alone through the center of the Spanish capital, following an emblematic route from Plaza de Callao, Calle Preciados, Puerta del Sol, Arenal and Plaza de Isabel II

The presentation of this event at FITUR reinforces the City Council's commitment to Carnival as a tourism product, highlighting the Drag Queen Gala as a unique, inclusive event with national reach. Among the most anticipated performances is that of Drag Sethlas, two-time winner of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Drag Queen Gala and winner of Drag Race Spain.

The promotional video showcases the profound renewal that the municipality is undergoing, a transformation that maintains the sea, the natural environment and the unique character of Torrevieja as fundamental pillars, and which is materialized in strategic projects spread throughout the city.

The route will run along Paseo Vista Alegre, Clemente Gosálvez, Ramón Gallud, Zoa, Caballero de Rodas, and will end in Plaza de la Constitución, at the doors of the Archpriest Church of the Immaculate Conception. Their Majesties the Three Kings have sent an official note to the Torrevieja City Council indicating that they will arrive, as usual, and that the distribution of all gifts will take place during the early morning of the 5th. They will also be able to say goodbye to everyone at the Three Kings Parade on the 6th, starting at 5:00 PM, which will be held in its usual format, adapted to any unforeseen circumstances.

They will dock at the port from where the procession will depart for the doors of the parish of the Immaculate Conception of Torrevieja

The redevelopment project amounts to a total of 9,656,250 euros and includes the creation of a new 35,000 m2 green area in an area adjacent to the Natural Park, known as Punta de la Víbora.

BIGSOUND launches a special discount for city residents: passes from €45, for a limited time only. The Councillor for Youth, Domingo Paredes, stated that “it is extraordinary news for Torrevieja to be able to announce the addition of an artist of María Becerra’s international stature to the BIGSOUND Torrevieja 2026 lineup. We are talking about one of the most influential figures in Latin music today, with a huge connection to young audiences.”

Festivities, youth, sports, and commerce come together to create a unique Christmas experience.
