I agree completely with David. Two white elephants, Corvera and Paramount World. Designed, like so many projects : Not for the good of the many but for the pockets of the few!

Do not close San Javier airport - it is vital for tourism and local income. Corvera is a white elephant dreamt up by Murcia regioanal Govt to support the other white elephant of Paramount theme park. It is incomprehensible to spend money on another ghost airport like Castellon and others.
