What police found

During the operation:

• drug possession cases were recorded

• drivers under the influence of alcohol were detected

• traffic and documentation violations were identified

• electric scooters posing risks were removed

One driver exceeded the legal alcohol limit by more than double, qualifying as a serious offence.

Why controls are increasing now

Spring and the start of the tourist season are key periods when police reinforce monitoring.

The reasons are clear:

• increasing tourist flow

• more intense nightlife

• rise in minor offences

These operations are part of the preparation for the summer season.

Not just Torrevieja

Similar situations are observed in other tourist areas across Spain:

• hundreds of drug-related reports in the Alicante province

• large-scale operations with dozens or even hundreds of arrests

• increased control in tourist zones nationwide

Torrevieja is not an exception, but part of a broader trend.

What it means for the city

These police actions have a dual effect.

On one hand, more controls and restrictions.On the other, increased safety — crucial for a tourist destination.

For the city, it is about balance:

• Visitor Comfort

• safety

• order in public spaces

  
  

Context: growth brings pressure

The growing popularity of Torrevieja also brings new challenges:

• traffic

• behaviour in public spaces

• new mobility formats like scooters

Police response is a direct reaction to this increasing pressure.

The strengthening of controls in Torrevieja is not a one-time action, but part of a broader preparation strategy for the season.

For residents, it means stricter checks.For tourists, a safer environment.

And for the city, an effort to maintain balance between leisure and order.
