Today there was again a major intervention in the Cova Tallada to help a hiker who was in the place sailing in a kayak. The impressive display of media has attracted the attention of bathers who were in Les Rotes.
The sirens have sounded again in Dénia to attend to the canoeist who, according to fire officials, has suffered a broken tibia and fibula when she slipped while hiking inside the Cova Tallada. Injury that has prevented him from returning by his own means in his kayak due to severe pain, so at first an attempt has been made to extract by sea with Red Cross and Local Police boats, but finally firefighters have mobilized a helicopter for his transfer due to to difficulties.
Once in the helicopter, it has been transferred to the Dénia fire station, and from there to the Denia hospital to treat their breakage.
This season no longer because it is ending, but I hope that the closure of the Cova Tallada and the adjacent coves to tourism and visitors will be considered for the next.
First of all for the good and safety of visitors, because it is clear that it is not a place to visit for inexperienced people or prepare for it by sea or by land.
And secondly for the protection of the Cova Tallada itself and the coves, which with visits with little control suffer very marked deterioration, piles of garbage, landslides caused by people who do not use trails and enabled accesses.
In short, the area must be protected and not destroyed just for the sake of tourism, it does not deserve this treatment.
