Xàbia awards the work on Avenue Lepanto for 72,000 euros The work will begin in September and will increase the parking available in the Port The City of Xàbia has awarded the redevelopment works of Lepanto Avenue, in the Port, to the Mercantil Pavasal. The initial bid price was 109,000 euros. The implementation period is two months but it is expected to be quicker. As explained by Councilman Paco Torres, the changes will eliminate much of the current hold-ups on Lepanto, gaining new places. This improvement is added to the recent authorisation of a free car park at the entrance of the urbanization La Corona of more than 5,000 m². Once completed the project will move on to the rehabilitation of the Bridge of Triana towards the end of the year, completing an important package of improvements for the port.
