Access by vehicle to the Cabo de Gata nature park beaches of San José will be restricted between June 18 and September 18 this year, as is normal.
Visitors to these beaches must park in the village of San José and take a bus which runs to the different tourist areas.
The virgin beaches nearby do not have capacity for the hundreds of cars which turn up on a daily basis, and so access is forbidden in order to prevent ecological damage during the summer.
Last year, 57,824 vehicles were registered as having parked in San José during the summer months, an 18 per cent increase on 2014.
