San Javier to Murcia now has a toll free motorway which goes through Sucina and Zeneta.The regional president was due to open it last week.The road is also linked with the motorway to Yecla.

The last five kilometres were still being completed due to building work on the Madrid to Cartagena railway.This road it is said will save at least 30 minutes on the drive from the  Mar Menor to Murcia and it is expected to take traffic from the busy C-3319 from Murcia to San Javier.

A 30 kilometre cycleway has also been built along the motorway which crosses several bird protection areas near Sierra Escalona,Sierra Altaona and Monte El Valle,which are included in the European natural park network Natura 2000.

A bird information centre has been built at El Valle close to the motorway and it can be reached on a bicycle.Residents and visitors are being encouraged to use this cycle route.The regional government has invested 111 million euros in the new infrastructure.

Around 5000 Alicante people have benefited from the Alicante food bank foundation over Christmas.More than 30 tonnes of food will be handed out to needy people.The food is given to a variety of charities including Caritas and other non-governmental organisations that deal with people in need.This 30 tonnes will be just enough to see people through the Christmas period.

The Foodbank Foundation receives donations from all of the major supermarkets, both national and European.It gets four supplies a year which it then distributes to other charities.

This year there is an additional delivery of about 6000 kilos consisting of milk,oil,lentils,rice,pasta and other goods from Alicante’s commercial sector.Another batch of food came from Caja Mediterraneo which handed out 24,000 kilos of basic food to about 4000 people.Whilst the economic situation continues in this way and people continue to lose their jobs then this type of help is essential.
