The Famara beach and the town of Caleta de Famara continue to suffer the setbacks of mass tourism. This privileged space on the island of Lanzarote sees how hundreds of private vehicles are parked on the dunes, in prohibited spaces or in areas reserved for taxis every day.
After 6:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon, dozens of vehicles remained parked on the paved track in front of the beach, some of them violating the prohibition of the Coastal Directorate that states that vehicles cannot be parked on the sand. In this case, one of the visitors went much further and completely crossed the dune space and placed his car on one of these dunes, next to a swing.
The Salvemos Famara citizen platform has denounced on its social networks how cars accumulate in front of the beach and how visitors and tourists park at the entrance of the Caleta, "in prohibited areas, in taxi ranks, in protected areas, anywhere."
In addition, it has stated that the State Security Forces and Corps "do absolutely nothing" and that more than a hundred parking spaces installed by the Teguise City Council "are completely empty."
Added to this are the bottles, beer cans, cigarette butts and other waste that remain in the sand without some beach users collecting it.
