Episode Details

In tonight’s This is Torrevieja evening news update, Riley covers the surge in foreign residents in the Alicante province, and the Costa Blanca, with Torrevieja leading Spain in relative growth as the province closes in on 2.1 million residents.

We also look at a 1.1 million euro council spend on extra rubbish containers to meet local demand, and clarify the strict microchipping rules under the Animal Welfare Law.

In regional news, the C-6 airport bus line announces a major service boost for the summer season.

Finally, we cover the standard daily updates on more serious local events, including a Guardia Civil investigation into a town centre knife attack on Calle Moriones, and a desperate appeal for missing British tourist Wendy Iles, who disappeared near Valencia while travelling home from the Costa Blanca.
