We noticed on another web site that it was mentioned that a new commercial centre is being built near us, so we looked on the internet and found the following info:-
There is to be a 30 million euro commercial centre - The Ociothader Centre - to be built on the CV-940 road that links Benijofar and Rojales, to be opened by Christmas 2008. Confirmed businesses in the new centre include a Carrefour Express supermarket, four screen cinema (showing films in English language + also Spanish dubbed films), a plaza with bars and restaurants, a bowling alley and fitness studio. It covers 40,000 square metres with car parking for 1000 cars.
Also Benijofar town hall has unveiled a project (taking four years), to turn 120, 000 square metres of land between the centre of Benijofar and Benimar into the Parque Municipal Canada Marsa. The park will have 5 sensory gardens, lakes, fountains, an open air theatre, sports circuit, cycle paths, and cafe.
Finally, Algorfa town hall has unveiled plans for a large scale shopping centre to be built right next to the AP7 on present site of MASA cement works and alongside the Zoko Sunday market to rival the large centre in Murcia. It should be finished by Christmas 08/early 09. Buses ( financed by the centre) will be made available between urbanisations and the centre.
So hopefully the above ( if it all materialises) should be good news for the area.
