Torrevieja beach Bars Bidding Update: What you Need to Know
As the second week of holidays follows the Semana Santa festivities, beachgoers in Torrevieja have been unable to access the local chiringuitos (beach bars). This situation was anticipated as the bidding process for new beach bar contracts commenced just over a month ago, following the expiration of previous contracts.
The Bidding Process
The town has put out ten beach bars for bidding, strategically organized across three popular beaches:
- La Mata: 7 beach bars
- Los Locos: 1 beach bar
- Náufragos: 2 beach bars
Among these, La Mata stands out as the area with the highest demand, with two particular beach bars receiving three offers each—a strong indication of their popularity. One bar is located near the end of Avenida de los Europeos, while the other is situated at the southern edge of Cabo Cervera. Conversely, one beach bar at Avenida Virgen del Carmen received only one bid, the lowest of the bunch.
Financial Aspects of the Bidding
The Town Hall has standardized the bidding process by setting a minimum annual fee across all locations.Specifically, each beach bar will carry a starting price of €8,060 per year, with contract terms extending through 2028. Given the collection of all ten upcoming contracts,this will amount to a minimum of €322,000 in revenue for the municipality.
Looking Ahead
the Contracting Board has already begun analyzing the bids, eliminating those that do not meet the necessary requirements. As the process unfolds, residents and visitors to Torrevieja can look forward to new beach bar experiences in the coming years.
Key Considerations for Beachgoers:
- Locations: Familiarize yourself with where the beach bars are located.
- Contract Length: The new contracts will last for four years, ensuring consistency in offerings.
- Revenue Generation: The bidding process will contribute significantly to local government funding.
For those planning to visit during summer, the new chiringuitos promise fresh dining options and leisure experiences.
Conclusion
