Fires in the Campo in Villanueva de la Concepción.

Bonfires – It is probable that you will receive a fine and a heavy bill for use of the fire services if you have been responsible for causing a fire. It is totally prohibited to have a fire between the 1^st June and the 15^th October inclusive. In any case it is necessary to ask permission from Medio Ambiente (The Environmental council). For more information, see the decree issued on the 21^st May 2009 which introduced constraints on the use of forest land and forest catchment areas. Even if you think your home is not in a forest area, if you have trees on your plot or your neighbour has, then you still need permission. This is because apart from the safety aspect, many trees and plants are protected (for e.g. cork trees and certain palms amongst others). If in doubt ask at the Town hall.
