We propose restoring the former Heliodoro Madrona housing complex as the Permanent Exhibition Centre for the Province of Alicante, a place to showcase products, towns and districts in a strategic location by the port and the bus station.
In the middle of July, San Gabriel beach has numerous shortcomings that are out of place at an urban beach in a European city that depends on tourism. Our mayor apparently still struggles to accept that residents won in court the right to a beach he never wanted us to…
We have good news today. We have signed up our first group member. An entire residents’ community has joined, taking our membership from 342 to 547. In this city you have to organise as a lobby to earn some respect, and that…
A new proposal for the Harineras mills Alicante City Council ignored our proposal to use the protected Harineras buildings on Avenida de Elche for a major museum of art and digital science, MUDIGA (https://avparquedelmaralicante.com/en/mudiga-en/). We are coming back with a new proposal, this time for an ethnological museum to preserve and exhibit Alicante’s social and…
A park in need of care Thousands of years ago, first the Romans and later the Arabs built large hydraulic systems to carry and store water for drinking and irrigation, and ornamental features that beautified and cooled gardens and homes. Yet in Alicante in 2025, we cannot get a few modest ponds and channels in…
The neighbourhood is still waiting for its square The Hoguera Baver-Els Antigons festivities use the council-owned site where we have been asking for a landscaped square for years. The square would bring economic and social life to the neighbourhood, and the council should never let a few days of festivities hold it up. Children and…
The festivities and the neighbourhood’s needs ‘Alicante’s mayor, Luis Barcala, and the councillor for festivities, Cristina Cutanda, called the committee chair, Iván Gomez, who took the call amid cries of joy and excitement.’ The day the mayor remembers the neighbourhood for more than naming a promenade we did not ask for and giving our Hoguera…
The banners have gone, but the demand remains CENSORSHIP! Today all the banners have been torn down. In them, residents asked our mayor, @Luis Barcala, for Alicante City Council to keep its promise to build a landscaped square on Calle Nadadora Carmen Soto. Children could play there, neighbours could meet, and older people could exercise…
Neighbourhood solidarity in the face of neglect The Gran Vía Sur Puerto Neighbourhood Association is being subjected to utterly unjust harassment for helping and giving shelter to a vulnerable young man left to fend for himself. The association has spent years fighting hard for a healthy environment for all of us, especially in Alicante’s southern…
A children’s square still waiting to be built We hope that when the mayor visits the neighbourhood during Hogueras, he takes a few minutes beyond the bonfire monument and the festival tent to walk around and see what we are missing. He will see ruins and plenty of bare council-owned plots. He will also see…
