Cliff Face Collapse Calle Pena

In the early hours of this morning, Friday, 2nd October, a large part of the cliff face, which had been covered with a holding layer of concrete, collapsed blocking the pavement and road in Calle Pena, immediately behind no.209 Calle Pia.

The owner has been informed by our Administrators.

Apart from dealing with the immediate danger of clearing the road and pathway a continuing potential danger will exist with the possibility of a further fall of rock. We got a building company out to clean the road and we are in dialogue with the owner's representative to make the area safe again.


The rock face needs to be stabilised and fully repaired. As the area in question lays within the boundary of property 209, it is not the responsibility of the community. One would assume that the owner will have insurance cover for the rock fall and the damage which has been done.
