In 2016 a Nerja fisherman had the bad luck to bring up a common, thresher shark in his trammel-net; it was bad luck because it is a protected species.
The Department of the Environment of the Junta has fined seven business on El Playazo in Nerja for allegedly contravening the Ley de Costas.
The new car park on El Playazo was opened on the Friday the 21st of June, just in time for San Juan.
