The beach of Punta del Moral, in Huelva, was the scene this week of activity by young people known as 'petaqueros', who transport fuel canisters to supply speedboats. Witnesses, surprised by the audacity of the individuals, filmed the scene due to the complete lack of concealment and the presence of the public.
In Almería, specifically in the coves of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, bathers were also surprised by the passage of a speedboat. The strong westerly wind caused these vessels to approach the coast considerably, causing alarm among those present.
“"A group of young people transports fuel canisters to supply speedboats."
The ease with which these activities take place, even in tourist and protected areas, highlights the problem of drug trafficking on the Andalusian coastline.
