A few days ago, the withdrawal of Cambrils from the experiential tourism project 'Vive la posidonia' that it shared with Dénia and Eivissa was announced. The decision of the Tarragona municipality means the suspension of the project and also the obligation of the three partner municipalities to repay the amount of the subsidy of more than one million euros received through the 'Experiencias Turismo España' program, included in the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan of the Government of Spain and financed by the European Next Generation funds, as well as the interest generated.
The Governing Board of the Dénia City Council has today approved the payment of this refund, 360.000 euros per municipality, after the Ministry accepted the cancellation of the project.
For his part, the mayor and councillor for Tourism, Vicent Grimalt, has already announced that Dénia will continue the path of the 'Live the posidonia' project and will begin to work on the actions to develop it with its own financing, "so next week we already have a meeting scheduled with the departments of Tourism, Environment and Beach to begin defining the new project."
'Vive la posidonia' aims to help people learn about this plant that inhabits the seabed and to help raise public awareness about its benefits by designing a series of experiential tourism proposals with posidonia as the protagonist.
The actions planned in the project include mapping the areas with posidonia that can be visited, involving tourist agents in their dissemination, publishing informative material, organizing awareness days and the creation of a virtual posidonia center.
All of this will now be worked on by Dénia City Council.
Mother of God, how much ignorance and how little interest Denia has in carrying out these purposes, and in English too…
Well, it's great that Denia is dedicating more time to this project and that people ARE INFORMED. Read a little of the local press, try to understand the importance of posidonia for our beaches, so that they don't run out of sand... posidonia is not dirty. It is only left in its place in winter and as soon as spring comes it is removed... so there is no need to clean anything. And if it smells, it smells of the sea... all very normal.
Well said! I don't understand how people have so little respect for nature, but then complain that the beach is disappearing, the streets are sinking because everything is asphalt and there is no open land or trees.
But don't think that this is only the case in Spain. Here in Poland our mayor has decided to cut down all the trees (30 beautiful maples) on our land (close to the street, so he has the right) to make a sidewalk on the side where there is only fields. On the other side of the street there are houses. The ideal side for the sidewalk, but nobody has thought of making one there.
Roy, I imagine you have a cell phone.
Download the Google Translate app and you'll see how easy it is.
It's all about getting a little annoyed.
Example: what I wrote above, I took it to the translator and he translated it for me:…

Come on Roy, make an effort
I'm sorry to have upset some people by writing in English - Denia.com has 2 language options - Spanish and English when opening the site - however I suggest you contact Denia.com and ask them to remove the English option. I have a mobile phone and prefer to use Deepl app to translate. You are right I should not be lazy and in the future write in Spanish (I hope the translator has worked!!)
Does this mean that as they are so concerned about posidonia will the council invest some of our money cleaning the stinking dead posidonia from our beaches or will they just leave it there and do nothing like in previous years?
Roy. Good morning. Please, do you have any friends or any means where they can write their comment in Spanish?
If you think it might be of public interest, if not, it's not worth the effort.
Yes - thank you very much for your notice
