GRANADELLA
BUS SERVICE EXTENDED WITH ADDITIONAL
BUS
The
trial free shuttle bus service to Cala Granadella is
being extended from tomorrow with a second bus available
during peak hours between 12.00 noon and 2.00pm. The
popular beach area has been closed off to traffic for
the summer months of July and August to avoid overcrowding
as well as the chaos which might have occurred after
the forced closure of the dry river bed by the Confederación
Hidrográfica del Júcar (CHJ) which had
previously been used for public parking.
