Benidorm today hosted the meeting of the Governing Board of the Serra Gelada Natural Park. A session in which the collaboration agreement between the Generalitat Valenciana and the City Councils of Benidorm, l'Alfàs del Pi and Altea for the joint maritime surveillance of the Natural Park of the Natural Park has been given the green light.
