Torrevieja’s planned municipal bus station will not be built during the current council term. The council is still processing a planning change for almost 40,000 square metres at Enclave 13, between the CV-905, Avenida de Rosa Mazón and Calle Juan Valera. The site is intended to include a privately funded bus station, urban transport workshops and depots, Civil Protection facilities, parking and other uses.

The planning process must establish the distribution of uses, infrastructure requirements and access arrangements, supported by a traffic study. Delays in resolving ownership issues on part of the site have also prevented the council from preparing the concession documents needed to fund construction. The municipality acquired most of the land through expropriation in 2012, at a cost of €5.2 million.

Until the new terminal is built, thousands of passengers will continue using the private station on Avenida de las Habaneras. Built in the late 1980s, it handles services to Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, nearby municipalities and destinations across northern Spain, but has significant maintenance, accessibility and service problems. The council also wants to acquire the 3,800-square-metre site, valued at more than €4.5 million, and turn it into a green area after the station moves.
