Not only has free parking been removed, but a very complex system for payment has been introduced. If you have a few spare pages, you might care to explain the system. My wife has a first class honours degree in Maths and I am going to ask her to do a dissertation in order to make the system understandable. Orange days, red days, special weeks, special weekends, prices which go down to 3 decimal places of a Euro. Why not just have “so much per hour/ day”. They tried this a few years ago then gave up.. Why not have some free time at night?

What a pity this is actually going ahead.
At a time when the pound/euro is hiting tourism to Spain hard and businesses in Nerja are really feling the pinch, this is the last thing that is needed.
As regular visitors to the beautiful town of Nerja we sometimes use this car park twice a day, if we did this for a week then this could possibly put an extra £40 to the cost of our holiday. It will also encourage people to try to find spaces in the already congested streets.
I wish something could be done about this, but I’m afraid like everything else, things only get worse.

I have just read the comments regarding payment for parking on Carabeo car park. I think that this is an underhand way of getting people off the car park so that the proposed building of houses and hotels on the plot can be ‘justified’. A set fee of 1 Euro per day time would surely bring in plenty of revenue and then allow free parking after 6pm.

I noticed today (Thursday) that the rules for parking have already been changed. The “Three months for the price of two” for those who book early has been eliminated. It makes one wonder if some rules such as this were there to get Town hall approval, but are now removed. At first I wondered if there was a smell of corruption but then I realised how silly of me that was. Corruption in Spanish Town Halls? Never!! We have the excellent example of Marbella to encourage us.

It seems that only non residents will be charged. Residents just have to show ID cards for free parking.
Apparently foreigners who are resident for up to 6 months per annum next to the entrance to the carpark will be charged, which will be very expensive as most are pensioners.
