4.2 Madrid-Alicante
In the case of the Madrid-Alicante, the growth between 1997 and 2006 was lower than in
Valencia, although it grew significantly at a rate of 3% per year. The economic crisis of the
period 2008-2013 has reduced the demand at a rate of 4.2% per year, observing, as in Valencia,
a recovery from 2013 onwards, higher than the one experienced in Valencia and at a similar rate
to the pre- -crisis period, growing 3.3% in the last year with data available.
