Statues on tour<br />
Low-rated <strong>Alicante</strong><br />
ALICANTE CITY has come<br />
bottom of a survey of 43<br />
European cities conducted<br />
by the annual Which?<br />
survey of British favourites<br />
to visit for a mini-break.<br />
Just under five thousand<br />
people took part in the poll,<br />

which showed Poland´s Krakow<br />
come top for the third<br />
year running, followed by<br />
Sevilla, with fellow-Spanish<br />
city, Valencia coming<br />
in third.<br />
Which? asked thousands<br />
of holidaymakers to rate<br />
their recent trips to European<br />
cities taking in a<br />
variety of factors, including<br />
value for money, shopping,<br />
accommodation, and<br />
the quality of the cultural<br />
offerings.<br />
<strong>Alicante</strong> got poor ratings<br />
over the ease of getting<br />
around, shopping, and<br />
the quality of accommodation,<br />
though it did better on<br />
attractions like the Santa<br />
Barbara castle and the<br />
Old Town.<br />
The survey put popular<br />
tourist areas like Milan and<br />
Brussels just above <strong>Alicante</strong><br />
in the league table.<br />
TWO statues by one of<br />
Spain’s most renowned<br />
living artists, Jaume Plensa,<br />
are going on display in<br />
Elche.<br />
The giant female heads,<br />
“Silvia” and “Maria” have<br />
been purchased to allow<br />
them to stay in the Valencian<br />
Community, paid for by<br />
retailer Mercadona and its<br />
charitable foundation.<br />
The pieces have been on<br />
display in Valencia City<br />
and will be in Elche for<br />
eight months before moving<br />
on to an as yet undisclosed<br />
location in Castellon<br />
province.<br />
They are being installed in<br />
Placa del Congres Eucaristic,<br />
next to the Santa Maria<br />
ELECTRIC scooter users<br />
in <strong>Alicante</strong> City have asked<br />
that the council rethink<br />
some of their planned restrictions<br />
on the vehicles<br />
use before they come into<br />
force early next year.<br />
The new bylaws say riders<br />
must be 16 or over (unless<br />
they have a moped licence),<br />
must wear a helmet, have<br />

Scooter users want<br />

lights on the scooter, follow<br />
speed limits and sign liability<br />
insurance.<br />
However, the most controversial<br />
proposal is their banning<br />
from pavements and<br />
most roads, meaning they<br />
can effectively only use bike<br />
lanes.<br />

national and international<br />
awards for his works.<br />
Riders say it is impossible<br />
to get around the city just<br />
using these lanes as they are<br />
not fully connected. Councillor<br />
Jose Ramon Gonzalez<br />
said that “80% of the city”<br />
is accessible currently and<br />
this may improve further<br />
in the future – although not<br />
before the new laws come<br />
into effect.<br />
