Los Locos beach in Torrevieja - EFE

The project still has to be approved by the Regional Goverment in Valencia

Torrevieja’s skyline could change dramatically after the local town council decided on Tuesday to push ahead with a plan to build 20 thirty-story tower blocks along the beach front. The council has approved for the blocks to be erected in six areas next to the beach, but that decision now has to be ratified by the Generalitat Valencian Government.

Información newspaper reports that the areas concerned are Campico San Mamés between the Acequión beach and the International Marina, the Playa de los Náufragos, the Curva del Palangre, next to the Los Locos beach, or Las Lomas in La Mata.

The project was carried in Torrevieja with the votes of the Partido Popular, while the opposition parties, PSOE, IU and LV, all oted against.
