Edition 1149 of the Costa Blanca Leader newspaper covers October 12-18, 2026. The paper features English-language news, sports, and events from the Southern Costa Blanca and Mar Menor regions. One of the town's most popular attractions is making a comeback at the port as the council inaugurates a new pedestrian esplanade following an €11.1 million redevelopment.
Fairground rides are set to be installed on Torrevieja's waterfront once again, more than three years after they were temporarily relocated to accommodate the port redevelopment. Tragic news emerged from Guardamar over the weekend, with three drowning deaths reported. A Dutch tourist lost his life at La Roqueta beach on Saturday, followed by a Ukrainian couple who perished at Els Vivers.
A council spokesperson explained that red flags were flying at both locations due to hazardous sea conditions.
