According to the mayor, Lluís Apesteguia, “the cove has improved a lot thanks to this measure, as there is no longer the same agglomeration of non-resident vehicles trying to access or park, and everything is much quieter”. But this measure is not accepted by some tourists. The council has detected that, unless the local police are present, some visitors raising the barrier by hand in order to get in.
Of course, when they arrive at the cove they cannot park and have to go back up or leave their cars in places that are not authorised, causing problems for users and neighbours. But according to Apesteguia, this is not the main problem, as most of them respect the closed barrier. The problem is that, if the barrier is down due to lack of parking, many stop irregularly on the main road, interrupting traffic and endangering other drivers.
“Every time a vehicle leaves, another one can enter, but the barrier closes immediately and many continue to stop, in violation of traffic regulations,” explains Apesteguia. The mayor has asked the Directorate General of Traffic to deploy more police to control traffic and prevent accidents. The mayor told the Bulletin last summer that he was extremely concerned about the future of one of the most popular and beautiful villages in Spain, never mind Mallorca .
“I am extremely proud to be the mayor and, along with the local residents, we are more than happy that so many people from all over the world want to come and visit our wonderful.
