The Valencian Tourism Agency has introduced a new facility on the Romana Beach for the use of residents and tourists. The initiative is part of a new project which will be extended all along the coast.
Alcossebre now has changing huts on the Romana Beach. The socialist councillor, Joan Ronchera, who has urged the Valencian Tourism Agency to install huts in Alcossebre in the first phase, has said that “residents and tourists became interested in the huts from the first day they started placing them on the beach”.
The new huts are made of wood, 1.5 metres along each side, with a roof and door. Inside there is a bench to sit on and hooks, whilst outside each one is painted in a different colour aiming to make them a special feature on our beaches. There are five huts ready for use on the Romana Beach every day of the week during the same hours as the life saving and rescue service is present on the beach – i.e. 11:00 to 20:00 hours, approximately. The Council is very positive about this action, “even though we have had to insist on it and spent three months negotiating with the Valencian Tourism Agency; because in the beginning they did not want to allow us any” stated Alejandra Roca, the Tourism councillor.
These five huts are in addition to those already installed in Castellon province – with a total of 28 in Peñíscola, Vinaròs, Oropesa, Benicàssim and Castelló de la Plana. It is an innovative initiative which will be extended little by little all along the coast of Castellón province and the rest of the Valencian territory.
Ronchera also stated that although he may be in the opposition, they are working to improve Alcossebre’s beaches and on this subject he said that he will continue urging the Valencian Tourism Agency to consider the necessary improvements needed for the Alcossebre beaches. To be exact, the socialist spokesperson said that he has already requested that in the next phase there should be swimming areas and shade for the disabled, as well as other new facilities, in the words of Francesc Colomer, the Autonomous Tourism Secretary, aiming to, “not lose the ability to surprise and fascinate”.
