PROVISIONAL MEASURES TO RESTRICT ACCESS TO THE CAP DE CREUS NATURAL PARK

1.- Motivation

 The rosinque coves located in the Cap de Creus Natural Park are under strong pressure during the summer, which has worsened in recent years. This disproportionate pressure is not compatible with the conservation objectives of the natural space or with the safety of users or with the appropriate experience that any visitor should enjoy. 

The plan for measures to temporarily restrict motorized access to the park, promoted by the city council and agreed with the managing body of the Natural Park, aims this year to mitigate these effects as much as possible and should be 'frame in a first phase of action of a more ambitious strategic plan in the medium term, which will involve the implementation of new deterrent car parks, the intelligent management of their spaces as well as a complementary transport service for users.

2.- Concretion of the restrictions

The object of the access restrictions are only vehicles with 4 wheels or higher. The plan, which is conceived as adaptive, does not provide for any restrictions on access by other means, such as motorcycles, on foot or by bicycle, and will be valid for the period between July 15 and July 31. August, every day of the week, from 10:30 to 16:30, when only authorized vehicles and all those people who can prove that they have a reservation in an activity inside the park will be able to access the park or be part of the authorized assumptions. Outside these hours, no access restrictions have been provided.

The location of the physical barrier and access control point has been established in a place called Mirador de Punta Falconera, which is the place where the access roads to the natural space converge. Vehicles that end up at this point and do not meet the requirements of an authorized vehicle to be able to access , will be diverted back to the town by the Falconera road in the direction of descent, to the urbanization of Almadrava.
