Torrevieja Council has planted nearly 200 mulberry trees and replaced 12 benches as part of improvement works in the El Limonar area. The green space is located beside Calle Rafael Antón, parallel to the CV-905, and is regularly used by local residents.
The project, led by the Department of Parks and Gardens, has focused on adding new trees to an open area to provide more shade and increase the overall green coverage. According to the council, mulberry trees were selected for their resilience to local climate conditions, rapid growth and ability to create more comfortable urban spaces.
Councillor for Parks and Gardens Concha Sala said the scheme also included renewing urban furniture with the replacement of 12 benches. She said the aim is to improve accessibility, functionality and the overall experience for people using the area.
The council says the work forms part of ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade public spaces across Torrevieja, creating greener, more sustainable and better maintained areas for residents, while urging the public to respect the new planting and facilities.
