The Torrevieja City Council has undertaken a significant project in the El Limonar area, planting nearly 200 mulberry trees and replacing 12 benches to enhance the green space near Rafael Antón Street and the CV-905.

This intervention, promoted by the Department of Parks and Gardens, aims to reinforce the suitability of this urban space and optimize its daily use by the residents of Torrevieja. The work has focused on incorporating new trees in an open area, with the main objective of providing more shade and increasing the green mass of the surroundings.
According to the City Council, mulberry trees were chosen for their resistance to local climatic conditions, their rapid growth, and their ability to create more comfortable areas in urban spaces. The Councilor for Parks and Gardens, Concha Sala, highlighted that the project also included the renovation of urban furniture, with the replacement of 12 benches, to improve user experience, accessibility, and functionality of this part of the city.
The planting of new trees seeks to improve the thermal comfort of the area and foster more pleasant spaces for walking and staying. The municipal department maintains that these types of interventions contribute to creating more livable environments and reinforcing urban quality in neighborhoods and expansion areas of Torrevieja.
In addition to increased shade, the renovation of the benches allows for updating the available equipment in this green environment and adapting it better to the needs of those who use it daily. These tasks are part of a series of interventions that the City Council carries out in different parts of the municipality to conserve and improve public spaces, with the aim of offering more well-maintained, sustainable, accessible, and citizen-adapted areas.
The council also reminds residents of the importance of respecting both the new plantings and urban furniture to ensure their proper conservation and maintenance over time.
