Spain Bbq

[Simon Meadwell]

Staying at Punta Mila Costa Brava anyone know if you can use charcoal bbq or is it a blanket ban like south of France and gas only?

Can't really help but of course if that's a site they will be able to tell you. We took a charcoal BBQ on our first trip but rapidly changed it to gas for subsequent forays because of the fire risk rules.

Legally ,nothing. Anything that creates fire is classed as banned , 1st April> 1st October.
Anything in the "campo" ( countryside) includes smoking . Most do it & you will see spaniards on the beach with fires & barbies it is when it all goes wrong that it becomes a serious problem.

Tapanyaka grill, so much easier to clean than a normal bbq but you do need leccy. Less that £30 for a small one.

Ouch…that must have been very frightening…I think in the uk, many don’t really have the realisation of what tinder dry means and the possible implications of a thrown away fag end.

I'm curious. The pics show fire damage, but you're still using the BBQ.

Did I miss something?

The BBQ photos were taken by the rental agent (isn’t a real fire).

they were the before photos

And it wasn’t a BBQ that started the fire. It was claimed to be a discarded cigarette . Something I will never believe. Because, there were a series of fires in different parts of the town.
