PREVENTION AND SAFETY MEASURES

At PARK PLAYA BARA we have strengthened safety and prevention measures so that you can enjoy the outdoors and nature with us. We apply the rules established up by the European, Spanish and Catalan authorities, as well as the recommendations of the Institute for Spanish Tourism Quality, the Spanish Camping Federation and the Association of Campsites on the Costa Daurada and the Terres de l’Ebre. On the other hand, we have set up a working group between the management, the heads of departments and the suppliers of medical, professional prevention and food services to oversee the application of the regulations and protocols.

As the exceptional measures applied to the restrictions and maximum capacity in the common areas may vary, we appreciate your understanding for any changes. The maximum capacity for common areas and activities and the full opening of the covered areas will be gradually increased as the regulations of the authorities progress.

The cleaning and disinfection records of each service point and common areas are monitored daily by each area manager.
