| The Grapevine Issue 172 2014
Hello Grapevine friends,
Summer has arrived in full force, very
hot and bringing with it the many
tourists who have decided to spend
their holidays with us.
José Chulvi
Mayor of
Jávea
I would ask everyone to be particularly
careful about the use of barbeques
because of the very high risk of fires,
as we have unfortunately witnessed
in several nearby towns.
After my short vacation, I’ve had many
very busy days at work in both the in
the Town Hall and in the Provincial
government.
Many meetings, working committees,
the usual monthly plenary session of
the town council, and as usual at this
time of year many problems have
arisen.
At times the day to day matters can
make life difficult, meeting with many
citizens and trying to solve all their
problems, but the important thing is
not to stop and keep moving forward,
hoping to achieve the best possible
results.
During these days I have signed
the many agreements we have with
entities of all kinds, cultural, sporting,
social, etc. ... this way the council
helps them financially so that they
can carry out their work.
SATE the Police Service to Assist
Foreign Tourists in Xàbia Port is now
open; a special police unit to cater for
visitors who have been victims of a
crime and have language problems.
This office will advise them on how
to file a complaint, how to cancel
credit cards or documents, and will
contact embassies and consulates or
communicate with their families.
We have been waiting to introduce
this additional service for our tourists
for some time, finally early August I
signed the agreement in Alicante.
Fortunately Xàbia is one of the
municipalities with the lowest crime
rate in the province of Alicante.
