Marbella City Council has launched a campaign to crackdown on illegal street traders that are said to be damaging the livelihoods of legitimate street traders and cluttering popular tourist coastal areas.
The city council is seeking the support of regional councils to help them to clean up the streets and clamp down on illegal traders. The council is said to have seized €600,000 worth of goods last year that were destined to be sold by unregistered street traders.
The mayor stated that his government team "maintains an attitude of zero tolerance to such situations, which are always increased in the summer.”
The council fears that the illegal traders are having a negative effect on the legitimate businesses operating in the Marbella and are selling below par goods to tourists. Many of the products on offer by illegal streets traders are said to be counterfeit so anyone buying from them does so that their own risk.
