More than 500,000 euros was spent on renovating the building by the firm that is working to build the new leisure centre.

Ximo Puig inaugurated in December last year the renovated Customs facility at Torrevieja port. It was the last building standing in the area of the port until Empresas del Sol began construction on the ‘Paseo del Mar,’ a new leisure centre. In recent months, its appearance has become less dazzling. It is now more polished, and reminds us of the way it looked in 1940. Its rear façade (facing the works mentioned above) is covered with graffiti.

This type of graffiti can be punished up to 750 Euros according to the ordinance of the municipality for promotion of quality and the environment. It is hard to catch the culprit’red handed’ as they tend to flee. This is despite its central location near busy areas like Paseo Vista Alegre and Plaza Waldo Calero. The roundabout located in front of Torrevieja’s casino is a frequent place for traffic control by the police.

As part of its commitment to Generalitat (promoter of works), the concessionaire renovated the Customs Building. This building is now home to workers from the former Maritime Captaincy, whose offices, formerly adjacent to Customs and Generalitat, as well as the old Fishermen’s Market, have been demolished.

At the moment, the Generalitat, the Tax Agency, and the Civil Guard all share the same work area in Customs. The concessionaire who will run the leisure center for the next 50 years invested over half a mil in its renovation. In accordance with the Historical Memory Law the Francoist shield was removed from the facade. The coat of arms for the Valencian Community has been installed in its place.

Since 2000, the management of Torrevieja’s port has passed to the Regional Administration and it is now part of Generalitat Ports. After the destruction of two buildings adjacent to the Customs, the land will be available to open up a space, which can then, with no further work, allow access to the underground parking through a roundabout. Empresas del Sol, along with the City Council, hope to open some new facilities this summer. It is not expected that the new leisure centre will open before at least next year.
