The Government’s proposal to impose a surcharge on property purchases by non-EU buyers will have significant repercussions for Alicante’s real estate sector. The impact would be particularly severe in many local areas that are heavily reliant on residential tourism, a major economic driver for cities such as Alicante, Torrevieja and Orihuela.
Residents of Orihuela Costa are rallying to honour the memory of Cloe, a 15-year-old girl tragically murdered by her 17-year-old ex-partner. Locals have proposed naming the park across from her high school, IES Playa Flamenca, in her memory.
