Torrevieja fines customers of illegal street vendors €200 on Juan Aparicio promenade
Fines were issued in July and August. The amount can be reduced to €120 if paid with the stated 40% discount.
Torrevieja Local Police fined people buying goods from illegal street vendors during July and August, mainly on the Paseo de Juan Aparicio. The fine is €200, but can be reduced to €120 with a 40% discount. Items associated with the enforcement action included clothing and footwear.
The measure is based on Article 28.3 of the municipal Civic Coexistence Ordinance, which prohibits buying goods from unauthorised street vendors in public spaces. The ordinance was given final approval on 30 June 2022 and published in the Alicante Provincial Official Gazette on 12 July that year.
Some case files have already been closed and the fines collected. The Town Hall had warned that buyers could be fined in a 2023 campaign, and in July 2024 it put up signs on the promenade reminding visitors of the prohibition and the amount of the fine.
