The mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo, made the announcement on Monday May 16 and said: “This am‐ bitious project will allow us to provide a solution to the lack of parking spaces in our municipality, especially in the summer season, and also provide it with a strategi‐ cally located bus station that meets the needs of our residents and visitors.” The mayor said that this will be the fourth car park to have been constructed by the town hall, under the lead‐ ership of the Partido Popular. The new one will join those of the Balcón de Europa, the Verano Azul Park and Burriana Beach to give Nerja more than 2,000 pub‐ lic parking spaces.
