Goodbye to the illegal Raset catwalk

January 28 from 2020 - 13: 19

For years, the Dianense city council has dragged the controversy over the Albaranes-Bassetes wooden walkway, placed by the town hall in 2010 in order to unite the beaches. Now, it was located on the dunes of the beach, thus destroying the protected cordon.

Now, thanks to the last sea storm, which hit the coast of Dénia hard, the City Council can put land in between. Gloria has swept the area, as in many, taking completely the controversial walkway that cost the City a penalty of 75.000 euros.

During damage assessment of the Councilor for Beaches, Pepe DoménechAnd the mayor, Vicent Grimalt, They have assured that the controversial wooden walkway will not be replaced, thus settling the blushing episode.

History of a controversy

The facts date back to 2010 when the consistory installed the wooden walkway connecting the Albaranes and Bassetes beaches thanks to 150.000 euros investment financed entirely by the Ministry of Tourism in the Litoral Prestige Plan of Valencia.

In November 2011, Director of Sustainability of the Coast and Sea Environment Ministry he decided disciplinary proceedings against the City Council Dénia for installing this gateway in the public domain sea-land when considered a serious offense. The City Council appealed but was dismissed.

    I think that the wooden walkway was a work that did not solve, at all, the mobility and accessibility problems to the urban area of ​​Denia from the Las Marinas area. Any passer-by with locomotion problems, any children's saddle, any scooter ..., in short, many forms of mobility, were hampered by a so-called "promenade" frankly unfortunate.
    If you want to seriously undertake an infrastructure that allows the inhabitants of Las Marinas to be able to approach the urban area of ​​Denia by a pleasant walk on the seafront, decongesting the insufferable traffic of vehicles and the consequent difficulties to be able to park in the city , a boardwalk should be built as God intended. Does it have to be like the ones in Benidorm, Cullera, Gandía ...? No. There are intermediate solutions, much more practical, beautiful and of quality than the happy wooden walkway, and that are in line with the already existing walk of Marineta Cassiana, in our own Denia, or the rustic style walk, but very beautiful , of the rock of Ifach, without going any further.
    Where could it be built? Very clearly, and respecting the ecosystem of the beaches of Las Marinas, on Boga Street, with more than enough space to make that area a beautiful walk (currently they can drive and park cars, so that the space is evident). In addition, and taking advantage of the construction of a new urbanization in the area, this walk could be linked with the magnificent park of Les Basettes, on the one hand, and with the walk that leads from the Fernando restaurant to the port promenade, increasing said walk existing, of course.

      You are absolutely right in the world, I do not understand how the town hall does not realize that this promenade: Raset beach has no charm, it seems that it stayed in the 60s, 70s, you just have to look at the beaches of Gandia or Benidorm, for example, their walks by the sea are amazing, let's see if they take some of our neighbors ...

    If you remove the catwalk, I don't know how those who live in the km will reach Denia. 1.5 It is the only way to walk and not to play life on the road that has no sidewalk. A shame. Both environmentalist and people care nothing. And that has been denouncing that they put a sidewalk and plug the drains in the air full of rats, cockroaches and mosquitoes. Where our taxes go

    The walkway from bassetes is the only option to walk. It is a very nice ride for bikes and pedestrians. The dunes not without much and were not always there. There is not a minimum sidewalk continuing from Denia to Bassetes by the road and it is a nuisance and a delay to remove something that everyone agreed was fine. The town hall has abandoned Las Marinas and harms tourists and residents of the area, throws dried seaweed into the sea again and hinders accessibility to the beaches. It is a shame to remove the catwalk from the boards !!!

    If it were not for the runways, the destruction by the storm would have been much worse. Thanks to the catwalk, some dunes have been saved. Never had the beach been so beautiful since they put the walkways.

  5. Carmen Arevalo says:

    Really the problem is the four boards placed to walk?
    ? And the houses built meters from the water in the same sand of the beach have nothing to do? It's okay to make us go through idiots ..

  6. Manuel Garcia says:

    This type of walkway is located on the beaches of Formentera and even on the most well-kept beaches in the world as in Miami beach. You are some palettes.
    But they take it warm ...

  7. Manuel Garcia says:

    The beaches were much better with the PP.
    Say the paparruchas they say.
    Just see pictures of 2014 and compare them with this consistory of shame.

      At least on the wooden walkway we could go to the village since the road of the marinas does not have sidewalks to walk you play life because in many sections you have to walk through the cakzada. I am surprised that the walkway is illegal and the licenses that I suppose the new constructions that are attached to the beach will not be illegal, for example, the urbanization the waves that have not even been set back as the constructions that it has next
