Mayor of Guardamar del Segura, town in the province of Alicante, announced her plans to create an organization of Russian-speaking residents, writes ee24.com citing noticia.ru.
Spanish coast is very popular among foreigners. The Russians, for example, prefer to buy apartments in Alicante and other resorts on the Costa Blanca. In Guardamar, which is only 10 km from Torrevieja, there are so many Russians that it became necessary to help them integrate into local life.
In addition, Mayor Carmen Verdú is working to establish links with travel agencies in Russia. She hopes Russians will get more information about the town and they will travel there more often, making investments into economy. In particular, at a recent exhibition in Moscow, the Spaniards had talks with representatives of the leading tour operators.
