In Friday's Torrevieja and Costa Blanca news update with Riley, we look at two major tech and community projects shaking up the local area. Torrevieja Council has unveiled an innovative 2 million euro AI-driven plan to support and school young migrants arriving in the city. Meanwhile, a pioneering 409,000 euro artificial intelligence traffic light system is being installed at the Punta Prima roundabout on the N-332 to cut down on local congestion. Widening out across the Alicante province, Pilar de la Horadada has launched a brand-new, completely free, and fully accessible intercity bus service connecting five major local areas. In more serious news, we cover a major National Police drug bust in Dolores and Rojales that uncovered 30 kilograms of cocaine hidden in secret car compartments, a court sentencing over a violent parking dispute in Alicante port, and an arrest in Dénia following the sexual assault of a teenager.
