Orihuela’s Ciudadanos municipal group has proposed a motion to create a consortium between Orihuela, Pilar de la Horadada, Torrevieja, and Guardamar to manage beach services.
The Costa Blanca is a significant tourist destination in the province of Alicante, with 244 km of coastline. The four municipalities in the Vega Baja region share a common socio-economic perspective and can benefit from a unified approach to managing coastal resources and public services.
They currently enjoy 26 blue flags for tourist quality out of a total of 69 in the entire province, that is, almost one in four flags that fly on the beaches and coves of the Alicante coast.
All four municipalities offer similar beach services, including maintenance, cleaning, seasonal services, lifeguarding, beaconing, signposting, accessory services, and have a total of 26 blue flags for tourist quality.
To maintain high-quality beach services, a joint effort among the municipalities can help rationalize the use of resources and achieve better results with available means.
