The city takes a pioneering and caring step to create healthier environments for young people
If you care about the well-being of young people and the future of Torrevieja, this is genuinely positive news.
Key points
- Torrevieja becomes the first pilot city in the Valencian Community
- Implementation of the national Guía PAO prevention programme
- Strong focus on community involvement and participation
- Funded by Spain’s National Plan on Drugs
- Aims to create healthier and safer leisure environments
A collaborative and positive initiative
Rather than waiting for problems to appear, the project focuses on prevention through listening and involvement. The city will work closely with associations, youth groups, families, professionals and local organisations to better understand the local reality and develop practical solutions together.
The goal is to make Torrevieja’s leisure spaces – from nightlife to youth activities – safer, healthier and more inclusive for everyone.
Why this matters
This initiative shows that Torrevieja is thinking ahead. By addressing risk factors early and involving the whole community, the city hopes to reduce harmful behaviours before they start. It’s an approach based on care, evidence and shared responsibility.
