The Ministry of the Environment, Infrastructure and Territory is reinforcing, from today, June 1, the Alicante Metropolitan Transport (TAM) service, with an increase in frequencies on lines 21, 23 and 24.

This measure responds to the significant increase in demand registered on these lines in the last year, with the aim of improving the quality of the service and better adapting to the mobility needs of users.

On line 21, which connects Alicante with El Campello, there will be an increase of seven trips on Saturdays until June 23. From June 24, during summer weekdays, five additional trips will be added.

On the other hand, line 23 between Alicante and Mutxamel will have its offer significantly increased. During the summer period, from June 24 to July 31 and from September 1 to 7, 16 trips will be added from Monday to Friday, 19 on Saturdays and 21 on Sundays and holidays. In August, the improvement will be even more significant, with a total of 29 new trips on weekdays, maintaining the reinforcements of 19 and 21 trips on Saturdays, and Sundays and holidays, respectively. In the rest of the year, the line will increase its service with 20 trips on weekdays, six on Saturdays and seven on Sundays and holidays.

Line 24, which connects Alicante with San Vicente del Raspeig, will also see a significant boost. Between June 24 and July 31, as well as from September 1 to 7, 31 new trips will be added on weekdays, 23 on Saturdays and 26 on Sundays and holidays. During the month of August, the service will increase with 38 additional trips during the week, in addition to maintaining the same reinforcements for Saturdays and Sundays. For the rest of the year, this line will have 26 trips from Monday to Friday, 17 on Saturdays and 11 on Sundays and holidays.

With this progressive improvement of the service, the Generalitat reinforces its commitment to more efficient, sustainable mobility that is adjusted to the reality of the Alicante metropolitan area, responding to growing demand and reinforcing its commitment to public transport.

Costa Blanca! Here’s what’s happening across the region this week

BENIDORM: Major Music Festival Returns for 2026

The city of Benidorm is preparing for another busy summer season with the return of the Indiverso Festival, scheduled for 18 July 2026 at the SkyFest venue. Organisers say the event will feature leading indie artists and DJs and is expected to attract thousands of visitors to the resort.

Local officials say the festival forms part of a broader cultural programme aimed at strengthening Benidorm’s reputation as one of Spain’s leading entertainment destinations.

Meanwhile, the city continues to promote its Poniente district redevelopment, with luxury residential towers and smart-city infrastructure positioning the area as a premium investment location on the Costa Blanca.

LA NUCÍA: International Rally Event Returns

Motorsport fans will soon be heading to La Nucía as the Rallye La Nucía Mediterráneo prepares to return to the region. The rally is considered one of the most exciting sporting events on the Costa Blanca calendar and attracts drivers and spectators from across Europe.

Local authorities expect the event to provide a significant boost to tourism and hospitality businesses across the Marina Baixa region.

ALTEA: Cultural Events Continue to Draw Visitors

The coastal town of Altea continues to maintain its reputation as one of the Costa Blanca’s cultural hubs, hosting exhibitions and concerts throughout the year. Recent cultural programmes include art exhibitions and music performances at local cultural centres designed to promote local artists and international talent.

The town’s historic old quarter and arts scene remain key attractions for both tourists and residents.

ALFAZ DEL PI: Infrastructure Updates and Community Notices

Residents in L'Alfàs del Pi have been notified of scheduled maintenance works affecting electricity supplies in some neighbourhoods this week as part of routine infrastructure upgrades.

Local authorities say the work is necessary to improve reliability across the area’s expanding residential zones.

FINESTRAT: Continued Growth in Property Demand

The municipality of Finestrat continues to see strong interest from international property buyers, particularly those seeking homes close to Benidorm’s beaches while living in a quieter setting.

Analysts say the wider Costa Blanca property market remains attractive to foreign buyers, though the market has become more selective and data-driven as investors look for long-term value.

Local planners say residential development in the area continues to expand alongside tourism and commercial infrastructure.

REGIONAL: Festivals and Spring Celebrations Begin

Across the wider Costa Blanca North, towns are preparing for traditional spring celebrations including Fallas festivals, which bring fireworks, music, and cultural parades to communities throughout the region.

These events mark the start of the region’s busy tourism season, with visitors expected to arrive in large numbers over the coming months.
