In Torrevieja, a significant agreement has been signed between the President of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, and the Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón, to rehabilitate the historic Fábrica de Hielo, alongside an adjoining building. This initiative is backed by an economic contribution of two million euros from the Generalitat Valenciana, aimed at enhancing the area’s cultural offerings. In the 2025 budget, one hundred thousand euros is allocated to kick off the restoration work.

The local council has also approved the tender for the rehabilitation project, with a total budget exceeding seven million euros. This includes the restoration of the Fábrica de Hielo, which will take place over the next eighteen months, and will incorporate a new building designed to integrate with existing structures.

The revitalised Fábrica de Hielo will house a modernised tourist information office, complemented by facilities for the Museum of the Sea and Salt. In addition, the new building will support the Department of Tourism, focusing on innovation and management of the tourist model. Mayor Dolón highlighted the aim of centralising various administrative offices to enhance public service delivery.

Overall, this revitalisation project represents a significant investment in both Torrevieja’s heritage and its economic development, aiming to transform the Fábrica de Hielo into a vibrant hub for tourism and cultural engagement.
