Aiguablava, the most damaged: the storm left stones, logs, and sand loss along the entire Begur coastline

The easterly storm has caused severe damage to the Begur coastline, with Aiguablava being the most affected area and impacts on all the beaches and coves in the municipality. Yesterday, access to Sa Riera, Sa Tuna, and Aiguablava itself had to be closed due to the amount of water flowing down the streams.

Damage Assessment and Initial Interventions

The City Council has begun evaluating the situation at each point along the coastline to plan the necessary actions. Throughout today, municipal teams have worked on removing fallen trees and managing landslides, carrying out all possible tasks manually.

"Aiguablava is the one that has been most damaged, but we have damage on all the beaches" - Maite Selva, mayor of Begur

In Aiguablava, damage has been reported to various structures, while in Sa Tuna a section of the stairs has been affected. The sea has brought back stones and logs, in addition to causing a significant loss of sand in several areas.

Upcoming actions and municipal coordination

The council plans to contact specialized companies to carry out tasks that require heavy machinery. Manual labor has resolved some incidents, but larger interventions remain pending.

"Very few structures, but many stones and logs that have washed down, what the sea returns and the loss of sand" - Maite Selva, mayor of Begur

The mayor has confirmed that the City Council will continue to evaluate each beach and cove to determine priorities for action. The situation will remain under review in the coming days as the damage assessment is completed and recovery efforts are coordinated.
