The Orihuela Council has announced plans to allocate over €18,000 for the development of a new picnic and rest area at Soto de Desamparados. This environmental enhancement project involves the installation of picnic tables and stone benches, as well as the transportation and fitting of these new pieces of furniture. The existing benches, which have deteriorated significantly, will be replaced.
Environment councillor Noelia Grao highlighted the popularity of the riverside nature area among both residents and visitors. She emphasized that the new seating will encourage people to spend more time in the area, enhance its appearance and usability, and provide opportunities for rest and social interaction. The Segura River Basin Authority has granted the council the right to use Soto de Desamparados for a period of 40 years.
This agreement obliges the council to maintain, conserve and cover the associated costs of the site. The funding for the project will be sourced through a transfer between municipal budget allocations, resulting in a new allocation of €19,795.60 specifically designated for this purpose. The Orihuela Council's dedication to this initiative was first reported on The Leader, Spain's leading newspaper covering national and international news, sports, real estate, business, classifieds and advertising.
