Some comments which have been sent by concerned citizens.
“I suffer from bad odours during my Easter and summer stays.
The odours are usually at night, repetitive and last about 10-15 minutes each episode.
In October 2015 I sent a letter about the bad smells to Acosol and to the Territorial Delegation
of Environment of Malaga. They answered me respectively stating that it would be fixed in
months when the works were completed and that the olfactometry controls were in accordance.
I also sent the letter to the Andalusian Ombudsman without getting a reply.
I reiterated the complaint to the two organizations mentioned above in October 2021 and I did
not receive any response.”
“When the wind blows from a particular direction the odours are unbearable, and this happens
frequently.”
“It is very unpleasant. It always smells bad, and depending on the direction of the prevailing
wind, we suffer more severely when the winds come from the direction of the sewage treatment
plant.”
“We have horrible smells very often, it is very unpleasant, it can not be tolerated! The price of my home is devalued by this problem, enough already!!!!!”
“The smells are absolutely vile! Especially when it’s hot! It’s unacceptable! It’s been going on for so many years it’s a disgrace that nothing is being done to solve this serious problem. I agree with everything that has been said.“
“We are tired of the bad smells from the Acosol plant that harms our health so much that nobody does anything, neither the authorities nor the company,
I join this great initiative because together we make strength so that the authorities and the company look more for the health of citizens than for their own benefits,”
“The odours is very bothersome especially in the morning but also during the day you can’t sit on the terrace it gives you a headache”
“Some times we cannot sit on our terrace in the evening due to sewage smells”
“Every day I do the stretch on the A7 Estepona/San Pedro Alcántara motorway and at the height of Agrojardin/Rio Guadalmansa the smell at around 8:30 in the morning is really repulsive!!!”
“Really unhappy about the swage smells when wind is in the south west (prevailing) I am unable to sit on my terrace or sleep with my windows open.”
“Since many years we suffer from these awful smells on the beach close to our appartment caused by the Acosol plant house on the paseo”
“Close to our apartment on the beach we always have to pass this terrible smells coming from the satellite on the paseo , this is unacceptable”
“At night it smells terrible. No one can stand it.”
“Shocking smells when on my terrace & also when coming off of the caraterra at the heaven beach underpass”
I want to enjoy meals in the open air and walks breathing in the healthy sea air and smelling only the sea.
The smell is always present.
At certain times the smell is very strong.
Bad smell in the area
There are bad smells. This is something that should not happen in a place like Estepona. It has to be solved now.
Constant and disgusting smells
The odour is very intermittent and is often very distinct when there is no wind.
Frequent smells that impacts enjoyment of this lovely area.
There are continuing bad odours and smells coming from the Acosol plant in Cancelada and satellite treatment plant which have persisted over many years which now need immediate action and remediation.
NO TO BAD SMELLS!
Bad odours reaching Park Beach and also when walking along the beach path
Terrible smell most days/evening
Although the odour from the sewage treatment plant in Cancelada is not constant, there are days when it becomes overpowering, making it very unpleasant to walk around our urbanisation.
I am really bothered by the smelt in my house
The bad smells enter my house through the bathroom and the toilet. It is a serious problem that needs to be solved quickly.
The odor is so terrible that we cannot open windows and doors. It is nauseating and it takes away of enjoying our home.
