The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Maz\u00f3n, has signed a declaration of intent in Torrevieja. The signing took place alongside the city council in the town hall\u2019s council chamber. The goal: the restoration of the iconic F\u00e1brica de Hielo. <\/p>\n

Historic building to be repurposed for tourism<\/h4>\n

The former ice factory has been designated as a Site of Architectural Urban Interest. The building will be repurposed to house the tourist office and other municipal departments. <\/p>\n

Urban project approved and nearing tender stage<\/h4>\n

Last week, the city council approved the overall project. It covers not only the building itself but also the redevelopment of the adjacent plot, creating a single integrated space of more than 600 square meters. <\/p>\n

According to city spokesperson Federico Alarc\u00f3n, the tender process will begin within a few weeks. The total budget for this phase amounts to \u20ac6.6 million. <\/p>\n

Exhibition space and tourism combined<\/h4>\n

The ground floor will be repurposed as an exhibition space, integrated into the Museo del Mar. The building will also house the administrative offices of the tourist service and a public information desk. <\/p>\n

Original fa\u00e7ade to be preserved<\/h4>\n

The design focuses on preserving and restoring the original fa\u00e7ade. All decorative elements will remain intact. While the rounded corner on the ground floor will be removed, the building\u2019s characteristic balcony will be preserved. <\/p>\n

Financial support provided in multiple phases<\/h4>\n

Carlos Maz\u00f3n confirmed that the Generalitat will begin with an investment of \u20ac100,000 in 2025. Larger amounts will follow as the work progresses, with contributions potentially reaching up to \u20ac2 million between 2026 and 2027. <\/p>\n
