I still maintain, for the majority of tourists in Arillas, the rubbish is not an issue.
I don't think I am looking thru rose-tinted glasses, I think I am being realistic and objective.
Firstly. in and around Arillas, the rubbish collection points are well away from apartments and restaurants, and for the few people who do have to walk past them it's no more than a couple of seconds of unpleasantness
Secondly, this is an exceptional situation, that hopefully will be resolved in the not too distant future but in the meantime is being managed admirably well and to the best of their ability, by the locals
Thirdly, in Arillas it's not the 'HEAPS' or 'MOUNTAINS' of rubbish that other resorts are having to contend with. If you visit other popular resorts , not only in Greece, but around the world, for example in Africa, the Caribbean , or the Far East, you will see far worse, that is accepted as the norm.
The rubbish is Arillas is NOT an issue.
Please can we keep it in perspective.
