Alicante, the city of blue fences



In Avenida de la Estación, one of the busiest by Alicante (due to its location) and visitors (due to having the train station at its ends and one of the main TRAM stops), there are three views that are part of the image of the city, although for different reasons: the Luceros fountain, which now shines in all its splendor after a restoration completed in due time and form (something that is becoming the news rarely); the Provincial Palace, seat of the Provincial Council and the work of the same author who designed the Casa Carbonell or the Casa de Socorro; and, for other reasons, the fences that cordon off the surroundings of one of the many empty tree pits in the city of Alicante since almost time immemorial.

That slowness in solving problems It has led residents of Garbinet to warn of the placement of fences in some works that were being undertaken in the area of ​​the Civic Center. «The work began several weeks ago on the sidewalk of Calle Médico Vicente Reyes. It has been left halfway, with the pavement not replaced and forming a permanent puddle from the building’s drainage, ”says one of the neighbors, who hopes that the solution will not last forever.
