Yesterday Friday, 31 of August, finalized the service of regulation of the access in vehicle to the Cala Granadella. A measure put by the Javea Town Hall during the summer to reduce road traffic and which is complemented by giving free shuttle service. In fact, this year has been the tourist trenet, supported by a minibus at peak times who have carried out the transfer of bathers.
In total, some 20.000 people have used this public transport from the 10 in July to the 31 in August. According to it has been counted, in August the number of users has doubled since 6.200 people used the service in July, while 13.500 did it in August.
From the Department of Tourism indicate that the majority profile of users is that of families with children and young couples, and the times of most influx of 12 to 14 hours on the way down to the cove and from 17 to 19 hours of rise to the parking garage in La Guardia Park.
The balance of the public service is positive since it has achieved a great acceptance among the bathers who have used it and also allows to avoid a saturation of the creek that damages its environment and reduces the tourist quality. And above all, it reduces the circulatory chaos that could even put security at risk and make it difficult to evacuate or access emergency vehicles before a hypothetical situation of danger.
