Torres Torres Airstrip

The closure was primarily due to a combination of regulatory and economic factors. The airfield was operated by the Club Aéreo de Valencia, which consolidated its operations at the larger and better-equipped Requena Aerodrome (LERE). Maintaining and upgrading the Torres Torres airstrip to meet evolving safety and regulatory standards set by the Spanish Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) was likely deemed economically unfeasible compared to centralizing activities at a single, more robust facility. There is no evidence of a major accident or military conversion leading to the closure.

The site is abandoned and in a state of disrepair. The asphalt/gravel runway is still clearly visible on satellite imagery but is heavily weathered, cracked, and partially overgrown with vegetation. The large 'X' markings indicating its closed status may still be faintly visible. The land is not formally used for any new purpose, though it shows signs of informal use by vehicles, and is sometimes used by enthusiasts for flying radio-controlled model aircraft and drones. The associated buildings, if any, are likely derelict.

Torres Torres Airstrip was a local airfield primarily serving the general and sport aviation community. Its main function was as a base for ultralight aircraft (ULM - Ultraligero Motorizado), flight training, and recreational flying for members of the Club Aéreo de Valencia and other private pilots in the northern Valencia region. It was a relatively modern facility, constructed around 1999-2000. While not of national strategic importance, it was a significant local hub for aviation enthusiasts, providing an accessible entry point into private aviation.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the Torres Torres Airstrip. The original operator has consolidated its activities elsewhere, and significant investment would be required to restore the infrastructure and meet current, stricter AESA certification standards. Furthermore, the growth of nearby residential areas since its closure would likely create significant opposition to a resumption of aviation activities due to noise concerns. The site is expected to remain closed permanently.
