Residents of Carrer de la Vena in Encamp say they are fed up with garbage being left dumped haphazardly in the street. They report having complained to the Comú, but say the situation has not improved and the rubbish continues to be deposited in inappropriate places.
Neighbors allege the waste does not come from regular residents but from guests at two tourist apartments in the Euro Àtic building. They say the rubbish appears systematically when those apartments are occupied and describe the behaviour as blatant incivility that can have a knock‑on effect on the area. They add that such conduct is at odds with the government’s stated aim of promoting quality tourism.
Residents also suspect one of the two apartments is operating without the required activity licence. They say they have raised the issue with the Ministry of Tourism but have so far received no response.
A check on Booking.com shows one of the apartments displays a licence identification when attempting to make a reservation. The other property, while still visible on the platform, currently returns the message: “We’re sorry, but this property can’t accept reservations on our website right now.”
