Encamp reviews Pas de la Casa winter nightlife; no formal complaints reported

The Encamp parish council convened the annual nightlife working table to review the winter season in Pas de la Casa, bringing together nightlife operators, parish officials and representatives from several government ministries to assess operations and share information.

Cònsol major Laura Mas opened the meeting by reviewing the jointly produced good‑practice manual, highlighting measures such as newly installed video‑surveillance cameras, reminders about public‑space regulations and a ban on distributing printed advertising. Mas said these rules are essential to guarantee safety, coexistence and a quality environment for residents and visitors.

Councillor for Economic Reactivation Nino Marot presented the events calendar for the 2025–26 season and consulted with traders and organisers to collect feedback and possible adjustments, stressing the need for ongoing, fluid collaboration among all parties.

Sergi Ruiz, head of the Unit for Prevention and Environmental Control at the Ministry of Environment, Agriculture and Livestock, reported that for the second consecutive year no formal complaints had been registered, a result ministries attribute to the reorganisation of nightlife activities and compliance with the agreed good practices.

Interior Minister Ester Molné underlined the importance of continued coordination between administrations and the sector to maintain a safe environment throughout the winter season. Chief Inspector Ramon Torné of the Citizen Security Unit presented the unit’s balance, noting that despite high attendance at peak times no significant incidents were recorded at festivals or other activities in Pas de la Casa during the past season.

Tourism Minister Jordi Torres said the meetings help ensure visitors enjoy a secure and comfortable experience and thanked local businesses for their cooperation. Participants also pointed to improved coexistence between nightlife venues and residents, crediting the concentration of evening activity in peripheral areas and measures such as the use of group guides to reduce noise during returns to accommodation.

Around 15 sector representatives attended and expressed a willingness to continue working through the nightlife table. Representatives from the tourism sector, Andorra Turisme, the Economic and Social Council and the ski resort were also present.
