Rumours have been circulating in Nerja that the beach road at El Playazo was to be closed by the Costas department after complaints from the owners association of the Rio Marinas due to the number of vehicles using the road. After lobbying by Nerja council, the road will not be closed off with concrete blocks as was first proposed and instead signs will be installed.
Furthermore a new car park will be created at the western end of the beach, accessed directly from the main road and a new access will be created from the main road to the eastern car park.
Owners of land and businesses on the beach road will also be able to get to their properties, along with delivery vehicles.
