Coolers, beach chairs, sleeping bags, pillows, shoes, clothing, and plastic and organic waste. That is the image presented by the ravine of Cala dels Testos in El Poble Nou de Benitatxell. A completely uncivic image that has led the Department of the Environment of this Town hall to warn of this type of behavior through social networks and make visitors and neighbors aware of the importance of caring for and preserving natural sites.
From the consistory they remember that in the ordinance that regulates the use and enjoyment of the Benitatxell coastline, the installation of tents and spending the night in the coves is prohibited. Failure to comply with this rule may entail an economic sanction.
From the City Council they ask users to avoid producing waste in the coves and that, once the beach day is over, they take their belongings and personal effects.

- Tourism of mass destruction ... if this is what the politicians who govern us want, they have achieved it, CONGRATULATIONS!
This is what happens when there is no policy on this issue, I mean the lack of control of promoting Jávea as if it were a huge city, like Benidorm or Miami.
I heard, in my presence, that a girl said to another:
- Auntie, this is super small. There is not a shopping center with cinemas or anything ...
- Yeah, aunt
In short, you want to cover a lot with the topic business, business, euros!… And one does not stop to think that we are putting thousands and thousands of people where yesterday there were hundreds.
In an instant, just 5 years, Jávea has died as an "Idyllic and Coqueto Place", soon they will be building a couple of Shopping Centers, and a lot of Burger.
They have done it conscientiously, day after day, one after another, and the goal?
You will say.
But also people have to inform themselves a little about the destination of their holidays. If you are looking for a party and you go to a family destination, it is clear that you have been wrong. As for the conversation of the girls, it is very sad to go on a beach or mountain vacation to end up in a Shopping Center or a Cinema that you have in your city and a thousand times better. For that do not move from your house.
Magnificent photo that shows us what the tourist impact really is. That is what we collect and what many say our economy is based on. These photos are perfect for the next tourist advertising campaigns. Why show some idyllic photos or videos if they come and do that? Give them what they give. This summer they are leaving a lot of material.
