Nerja repeats call to regulate access to Chíllar river beauty spot

While the beauty spot has been closed for the last two summers due to the pandemic, in the summer months before Covid-19 up to three thousand people might access it in a single day, with busloads of hikers and companies charging to take people there on excursions.

It has asked the Junta de Andalucía, which is responsible for the area, to adopt "the appropriate measures for the regulation, planning and integral management of the space associated with the recreational area of the river Chíllar" and to "act urgently in order to regulate access to minimise the risks arising from its use and enjoyment," the town hall has said in a statement.

“We insist that the Junta de Andalucía take the necessary measures, and once again we put ourselves at their disposal to promote as many actions as we can” the statement said.
