Also, at the two iconic coves of our town, the Ambolo and Granadella, we have taken steps to solve the major problems of traffic congestion that have been occurring year after year. In Granadella we have enabled calle Pic Tort to accommodate 70 more cars and to ensure road access and exit in an emergency. In the future, we will have a new plot of almost 1000 m2 that the Town will buy from the Spanish Government the former barracks of the Guardia Civil, located behind the line of restaurants. This new space will not increase the pressure from cars in the cove, but enable an improved traffic flow. As for the Ambolo, we have restricted parking to respect the rights of the local residents who live there and avoid problematic situations. Furthermore, we must emphasise the fact that the cove remains officially closed due to the risk of landslides.
