Orihuela joins the Senderos Azules network
Orihuela is joining the the Senderos Azules network which is a series of paths and trails that start or end at blue flag beaches, marinas, ports or information centres that have been awarded the blue flag of which the Orihuela Costa can currently boast four.
The purpose is to promote the connection of the network of places with the Blue Flag through trails and leisurely walks that value natural areas of cultural and heritage interest close to such beaches and marinas.
“With the Blue Trail” Paseo de Cabo Roig “we want to publicise it’s biodiversity, making known the varieties of the flora and fauna, geology, heritage and landscape of the natural environment,” said Ángel Noguera, the local Councillor for Infrastructures.

vandalism that occured only this week in the old village area between Lomas de Cabo Roig and La Zenia.
Many people are living under fear of threats of violence and vandalism
A situation that P.I.O.C has reported many times is the number of children meeting in parks, not just those close to the Boulevard, but everywhere in Orihuela Costa.
They don’t just sit quietly enjoying each other’s company, no, they disturb local residents with the noise level of the music they play, the setting off of fireworks, lighting of fires, broken shopping trolleys left lying around and creating vandalism of the parks they destroy.

Councillors inspect the damage at La Zenia beach in 2019
The Generalitat has earmarked 221,729 euros for the structural improvement works to the two wastewater pumping stations in Orihuela Costa with the aim of preventing more sewage leaks such as those seen on far too many occasions in recent years.
Leaks and spills occur on a regular basis as anyone living in the vicinity of the two sewage plants will verify, particularly those close to Montezenia where the smell caused by the spills can be overpowering.
In August 2019 who can forget the most infamous of them all when thousands of litres of raw sewage flooded the streets surrounding La Zenia and it’s blue flag beach.
