Torrevieja's city centre will temporarily ban vehicles for a three-hour period on Sunday, as part of European Mobility Week. The initiative, organized by the Local Police Department, aims to promote safer and more sustainable forms of transportation. The Car-Free Day will take place between 5pm and 8pm, with the roads reserved for pedestrians, cyclists, and other sustainable transport users.
On Sunday, a major family event will begin at 10am on Paseo Vistalegre, featuring the 30th anniversary celebration of the Children's Traffic Park. The park will be open for five afternoons during the week, offering children opportunities to learn about traffic regulations, develop road-safety skills, and engage in recreational activities.
The week-long programme, under the theme "Mobility for All," places emphasis on equality between generations. It combines road-safety education with cycling demonstrations and practical alternatives to private car use. Local Police Councillor Federico Alarcón highlighted the importance of introducing safe and environmentally responsible travel habits from a young age.
The council hopes the events will promote discussions about public space usage and encourage residents to explore walking, cycling, and other sustainable transportation options for a safer and more accessible city.
