Same reason Orihuela Costa is in the same state. 

Torrevieja is not filthy. Id say the words from your mouth has more filth than Torrevieja has.

People should clean up after their dogs and whoever runs the town should give the place a good wash down.

I could not agree more! Im from Northern Spain, and people are more civilised there.... In Torrevieja people don't seem to respect others...I have a dog and clean after him... There are times I have to pick up other dogs poop because their owners would not do it.... Its very sad, but the townhall should give big fines... they dont seem to do anything about it... And yes, the streets should get a good wash, specially in summer as you can smell dog's pee everywhere... 

I think summer makes it worse with so many people...The town cannot cope with it...Sad but true...It is embarrassing... people thinking the entire Spain is like Torrevieja...

I blame the lack of rain.

Local budgets must be based on normal rainfall levels. 

Without rain, wind redistributed and accumulates dry litter.

Dog owners need training and/or fining.

Covid-19 has discouraged people from clearing stray litter, which continues to accumulate.

We need to raise the issue with local authorities, in addition to writing on the forum.

Henrique, you may feel strongly about this subject and your opinion should be respected. 

However, a principled man who deserves respect does not "shout" his opinion, especially to a woman.

Your reply, in Upper Case, is the Internet Forum equivalent of shouting.  You doing so to a woman earns no respect from me.

Thanks for your support. I blocked the male subject as his communication skills to me were very poor. 

I fully disagreed with him.

Hello Janet

 I agree with you that the poster was rude in his response.   Ill mannered people have been hi-lighted on the forum recently....I want,  I need, How, What,   Where ?  etc but no Please or Thanks. I dont block people often but  I  dont want to help people who are rude or ignorant . I thought your reply was  very polite but accurate.

Cheers

Why not english people ? I was forced to sell my property in Orihuela Costa because a horrible family of english people moved next to me. It was disgusting..dogs excrements sitting in the yard all day long, that insuportable smell during the summer and finally when they start cleaning all the water mixed with re mainings was flowing to the comunity street.

Never again buy in Spain into comunity even" residencial".

I live in Las Torretas, Ghetto 2 to be exact, I have written to the local EWN weekly rag and used the address given to contact the mayor. Best reply ever, NOTHING! It was some months ago maybe I am just over enthusiastic about getting an early reply perhaps it will come next year, He probably hasn't stopped laughing and rubbing his hands about the the attached piccies of the local streets.

BTW. Torremolinos is a Gem for cleanliness...............
