THE Region of Murcia is set to join in on the low-cost petrol craze, with the expansion of Plenergy in two new areas of the Costa Calida and bringing its total to 21 operating stations in the region. Plenergy, formerly known as Plenoil, has opened stations in Cartagena and in Murcia City, bringing affordable petrol closer to residents and visitors.

Where to find the new low-cost stations

To be specific, the first station, which has two pumps, is located in Cartagena on Calle Floridablanca 6, and the second, which has four pumps, is located in Murcia City on Senda de Granada, 10. These new petrol stations have been placed to meet growing demand from local drivers, amid a context of surging petrol costs.

These stations will be open and under 24-hour a day video surveillance. Additionally, they will have staff present from 7:10am to 9:45pm from Monday to Friday, and from 9:10am to 2:00pm and from 4:10pm to 8:00pm over the weekends.

Plenergy reaffirms position as the most prevalent low-cost station in Murcia

With the new installations, Plenergy, formerly known as Plenoil, has consolidated its reputation as the most present low-cost petrol station brand in the autonomous community, far surpassing Ballenoil’s 14 stations.

According to the CEO of Plenergy, José Rodríguez de Arellano, the aim of the strategy is to “offer users top-quality fuel at the most competitive price on the market, in safe, comfortable, and accessible facilities.”

The move is part of a larger plan by Plenergy to continue growing and reach 500 total operational stations by the year 2027.

Low-cost fuel closer to residents in a context of spiking costs

The timing of the installations just ahead of peak season is also strategic, and especially during July, as Spain has announced the end of temporary VAT cuts on fuel and energy bills on June 30. The cut is ending amid increasing instability and prices in the country, in part caused by the Strait of Hormuz bottleneck as a result of the US-Israel-Iran conflict.

Mazarron’s stunning coastline is set to take the spotlight, after it has become one of the key filming locations for Netflix’s new miniseries, “Toda la verdad de mis mentiras” (“All the Truth of My Lies”), an exciting and dramatic production that blends romance, friendship, and betrayal, all against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful towns in southern Spain.

An exciting new miniseries based on a story by a bestselling author

The miniseries, based on the novel by bestselling author Elísabet Benavent, will have five episodes and is expected to continue the streak of Netflix’s successful adaptations of her work, following smash hit titles like “Valeria” and “Un cuento perfecto”. The series will be produced in collaboration with Plano a Plano, with Benavent herself involved as an executive producer alongside Ángel Armada and Marina Pérez.

The story revolves around Coco and Marín, two lifelong friends who share a home and a close-knit group of friends. What begins as a carefree caravan trip to celebrate a friend’s bachelorette party gradually unravels into a tense, dramatic, and emotional journey as longtime secrets come to light, testing the group’s relationships and friendships.

A star-studded cast and a two-week filming in Mazarron’s most beautiful beaches

The cast is comprised of a mix of well-known Spanish talents from popular television shows and films. Among them are Daniel Ibáñez, Itziar Manero, Ricardo Gómez, Brays Efe, Lucía de la Fuente, and Clara Sans, many of whom are recognised for roles in successful productions including “Cuéntame cómo pasó”, “Paquita Salas”, and “La novia gitana”.

The filming for the miniseries took place over more than two weeks, across several of the municipality’s most recognisable and idyllic coastal locations, including Playa de Percheles, Rihuete Beach, Bahía Beach, and the Calas de Bolnuevo. Roads between Mazarron and Lorca will also appear in the miniseries.

When to see Toda la verdad de mis mentiras’

Toda la verdad de mis mentiras” is set to release on Netflix on August 28, 2026, and it is expected to showcase not only a story of friendship, lies, betrayal, and secrets, but also to display Mazarron’s cinematic beauty, and attract viewers around the world to its stunning coastline. This is only the latest in a string of recent filmings taking place in the idyllic Region of Murcia.

The Lorca Town Hall has alerted the residents of the Murcia municipality that they can expect loud sonic booms until mid-June, as military aircraft carry out a series of training exercises over the area. The drills are being carried out by the Spanish Air and Space Force, and form part of the Tactical Leadership Programme, an advanced international training course that prepares pilots for complex missions.

Loud ‘explosion’-like sounds in the Lorca area until mid-June

These drills are being done at the Albacete Air Base and will be in effect until Friday, June 19. The training flights will take place between approximately 3:30pm and 5:30pm on weekdays, with no training scheduled for the weekends.

During the series of exercises, residents of the Lorca area can expect to hear sonic booms, even at ground level. They are described as sudden, short-lived, loud noises, and may be powerful enough to rattle doors or windows, or cause a brief vibration in the air. These loud and sudden sounds are produced when aircraft exceed the speed of sound. 

Both the volume and the sound of sonic booms are often mistaken for explosions or even earthquakes, but residents may rest assured that the cause of the sounds is standard aircraft drills. Authorities have issued this warning in order to prevent unnecessary alarm among Lorca residents.

Residents in Lorca and surrounding areas may also notice increased military movement throughout June, including deployment of support military vehicles.

The Albacete Air Base, an important structure for the whole of Spain

The Albacete Air Base, also known as Los Llanos Air Base, is an international air base of the Spanish Air Force and Space Force located 4 kilometres south of Albacete. It is one of the most important air installations in Spain.

While residents may be startled and alarmed by the unexpected sounds of the sonic booms, the loud sounds serve as a simple reminder that the military pilots are training, honing their skills, and strictly following the carefully-managed routine.
