Xàbia cleaning services clear waste from unofficial youth gathering spots

In Xàbia, an unofficial gathering spot for youth drinking, known as a 'botellódromo,' continues to be a recurring summer scene. As dawn breaks, parking areas near local discotheques are often left covered in bottles and waste left by revelers.

Local cleaning services respond quickly to the aftermath. By 8:00 AM, municipal crews typically clear the parking lot, leaving no trace of the night's festivities. However, environmental concerns remain regarding the Gorgos River, which borders the area; waste often ends up in the riverbed, prompting local warnings against 'basuraleza' (trash-nature).

While residents express frustration with the mess, some argue that concentrating these gatherings in a specific area helps prevent disturbances from spreading throughout the town and makes waste management more efficient.
