This is Torrevieja Weekly - 21 June 2026

Stay informed with the weekly news round-up for Torrevieja and the wider Alicante province with Riley Via-Silva.

This week, we celebrate a local student from La Purísima who achieved the highest university entrance exam score in the entire Valencian Community. In infrastructure, the town council approved a €15.4 million transformation plan for the Eras de la Sal and announced a €180,000 upgrade to public lighting, while a major job fair brought 400 employment opportunities to the region.

We also look at a brief, preventative beach closure at the Juan Aparicio promenade's natural pools, which quickly reopened after water quality parameters returned to normal. Plus, marvel at nature as up to 9,000 newborn flamingo chicks begin their annual lagoon migration, and find out about the new San Roque civic centre project alongside upcoming weekend celebrations like the La Mata Sardine Festival and Midsummer's Eve beach bonfires.

Thanks for listening, please remember to follow for more. Or not. Your choice. But thanks anyway.
