Arenal Fights Back: 500 Signatures Against Garbage, Potholes and Decay

Answer

Why do El Arenal residents say the problem keeps coming back?

Residents believe the problem persists because responsibilities are spread across different parties and not always clear. They also say that cleaning and repair efforts are often focused on the main promenade, while side streets where locals live receive less attention. Seasonal pressure and short-term rentals make the situation harder to manage.
