The Coves of Torrevieja under threat

A plan to restore the coastline around Punta Prima in Torrevieja will lead to an environmental disaster, according to ecologists.
The ministery for the environment is proposing the building of artificial beaches along the rocky shore which will be backed out at sea by a series of breakwaters.
A beachfront promenade and harbour also form part of the plan.
This scheme - which is dressed up as an environmental improvement project will destroy one of the last virgen areas of Torrevieja's and the Costa Blanca regions coast.
We all know that these actions are designed to increase the popularity for many of the tourists that have Holidays in the Costa Blanca but it will affect an area of small coves and cliffs as well as fossil dunes and could represent a great loss for the whole of the Valencia region.
