It is a Zona de Actividades Logísticas or dry port for goods in transit, something which has been promised to the Vega Baja for a few years now. Along with the ZAL will have to come the necessary transport links to make it work.
Mario Flores, the Regional Councillor for Infrastructure, met with mayors from the Vega Baja the other day in Orihuela and promised that the project to install a ZAL in the region would now go ahead. However, he did not mention a timeline nor the budget for the project not even its proposed location.
There are several towns that are hoping to host the ZAl including San Isidro and Callosa. It will form part of the Mediterranean corridor and is regarded as far more important to the region than the arrival of the high speed train (AVE). The installation will be funded regionally, all that the town which hosts the ZAL will have to do is provide the land.
Now the mayor of San Isidro says he just hopes that this was not an election ploy on the part of Mario Flores and that the project will go ahead during the next mandate.
