Moraig Beach
Josep Femenia -Mayor of Poble Nou de Benitachell– and Rosa de los Rios –Head of Coasts Affairs Bureau- visited the access area of Moraig Creek (close to the southern entrance to the Cumbre del Sol) where City Council has proposed enabling a platform for the creation of 60 parking spaces and the improvement works of the area that would allow up to 130 parking places by the creek.
The mayor explained the need to manage traffic in the area (which in the summer months has a very intense activity) that, according to municipal data, reaches a daily average of 300 cars. Facing this situation, the City Council has proposed the creation of a parking space in an attempt to alleviate the area as far as possible.
The visit was carried out along with the technical department of the Ministry of Environment and municipal technicians who analyzed the project on the field. According to De los Rios, the project will have to be studied and evaluated in the context of priorities. The proposal takes in account the creation of a platform in the river bank at the Barranc de l’Infern.
It was also proposed other alternatives such as creating a public transport service to the beach, in order to improve and upgrade the traffic area next to Moraig creek and Cova dels Arcs.
