ZONA EL PARKING, Alicante’s newest party venue, is now up and running with an extensive sound and lighting system tailored to suit individual areas.
With its hot summers and extremely mild winters, it is no surprise that the seaside city of Torrevieja on the Spanish Costa Blanca is hugely popular with tourists and ex pats, particularly those from northern European countries like Britain, Ireland, and Germany. There are also plenty of Spaniards with second homes in the city, which is renowned for its cosmopolitan vibe and for doing its upmost to offer holiday makers a good time.
No wonder, then, that Grupo Vela Beach, a company specialising in restaurants and nightlife, has set up in Torrevieja and is rapidly growing its portfolio of businesses with a view to appealing to both long term residents and seasonal tourists.
Located in the Casagrande Polygon directly in front of the VELICE Disco, ZONA EL PARKING has four pubs offering very different ambiences and musical styles so that they appeal to the widest possible clientele. There is also a large outdoor garden area with a panoramic terrace, ample parking for up to 300 cars and the Insatiable restaurant, which is open every day offering a variety of tapas, traditional dishes, and a charcoal BBQ grill. Admission to ZONA EL PARKING is free and the leisure area is open throughout the summer season and on weekends and holidays the rest of the year.
To ensure that Zona El Parking delivered a fantastic user experience, Grupo Vela Beach commissioned Alicante based audio-visual integration and events company RVS SERVICIOS AUDIOVISUALES to install the necessary sound and lighting equipment.
«Grupo Vela Beach chose us because we had previously worked together on other venues»,. «We have a lot of expertise in carrying out fixed installations, from pubs and discos to multimedia classrooms in schools and training rooms. We can also specify the right sound and lighting equipment for each venue, including loudspeakers, microphones, mixers, spotlights, moving heads etc».
«We choose WORKPRO for several reasons, not least the quality and price of its products and the security it offered in terms of sales and after sales service. By using products from the WORK PRO range, we were able to cover the audio of all but one area of the complex«.
Rubén Vidal Pinoso, RVS Director.
On the audio spec sheet for the complex were WORK PRO amplifiers, Ethernet DSP audio processors, power distributors and loudspeakers- nearly 80 in total including: NEOS8 and Z15 subwoofers, MINO, and SOUND NUT pendant loudspeakers ranges.
In each case the loudspeakers were chosen for their suitability to the space, considering acoustic challenges such as high ceiling structures and reverberant sound fields, so that musical clarity and voice intelligibility remained high throughout.
«We had no issues with any of the systems because all WORK PRO products worked perfectly. The most complex system we installed was in the restaurant area because this was a very large space with very high ceilings. Our solution was to use 10” SOUND NUT pendant speaker that gave exceptional coverage and resulted in a very good sound».
Rubén Vidal Pinoso, RVS Director.
Established in 2008 and voted Torrevieja’s Innovative Company of the Year in 2018, Grupo Vela Beach already has two Mediterranean-style restaurants on the Torrevieja seafront, a Mediterranean-Japanese fusion restaurant, a gourmet burger restaurant and the VELICE, one of the largest discos on the Costa Blanca. But in recent months it has significantly added to this total by opening ZONA EL PARKING, a 3000 square meter enclosure dedicated to people who want to eat, drink and party.
ZONA EL PARKING officially opened in 2019 and has proved to be a huge success for Grupo Velo Beach.
