BLOC / Centristes

(Ruling Coalition)
Wish to conserve the landscape and traditional heritage of Xàbia.
Are opposed to new major road access to connect to the Cámi Cabanes since it would split the agricultural valley in half.
Wish to preseve the Saladar; create green corridors connecting protected zones and enhance green zones in urban areas.
Are against Port Expansion.
Consider that the 1990's approach of expanding "Residential Tourism" (foreigners living as residents in Xàbia) was, in general, a success.
Have no clear strategy for future long term economic development of the town, except continued growth to provide work for small local builders.
Voted for Consultative document July 12 2010

PP

Want to have industrial zones, health, leisure and educational infrastructures in order to de-seasonalise the economy.

Nueva Javea

(Opposition)
Want more ambitious developments to replace construction and "Residential Tourism" as an economic engine. Suggest health and leisure facilities for "quality" visitors.
