A new campsite for 157 motorhomes and campervans is planned in Elche, Alicante, targeting senior European tourists who stay for one to three months outside the summer season. The site in Valverde Bajo, about six kilometres from Santa Pola and seven from Elche, will cover 19,520 square metres and include a pool, bar, terrace, toilets, leisure areas, playground, parking, water supply and waste management points, two underground wastewater treatment plants and solar LED lighting. The project is promoted by Basque businessman José Antonio Miragaya, who already runs a similar facility in Cantabria. The plot segregation was requested in June 2025, urban compatibility was confirmed by Elche council in November, and segregation was authorised in February 2026. The Declaration of Community Interest (DIC) is now being processed, with resolution expected in early 2027, after which further permits will be required.
