In his words, we are not able to find any cooperation in this case, while giving us all the facilities to find a quick solution in Santa Pola and Calp. “Our idea is to fix all the stations, but this is something we have to settle between the two sides and this has not been the case until now,” he said.
Regarding Alicante and Elche stations, they will remain closed this Saturday so that Ministry of Economy staff can be present at these stations to verify that everything is correct and move on to the temporary reception. For this reason, It will be Monday when it will reopen with the public administration.
