The obligation to wash your feet and legs before leaving the Sinis coast does not yet exist. But it could come soon. The Municipality of Cabras takes action once again to avoid dispersing the white quartz, the flagship of the coast already too courted by sand thieves. As? By installing “smart” and latest generation showers. An experiment that is about to begin a few meters from the crystal clear water and not far from the car parks. It is right halfway between the sea shore and the areas where you usually park your car, therefore a stretch where everyone necessarily passes by to leave, that the municipal workers are installing stainless steel showers these days. After eliminating the dated and rusty ones which very often didn't work, with all the protests involved.

They are timed showers that can be used by bathers to eliminate grains of sand that usually remain stuck to the skin. The goal is to keep the quartz in Sinis. But not only. There are also foot washers where, after the shower, the sand will remain. This will then allow the workers to bring the quartz back to the beach.

«This is cutting-edge and very expensive equipment, but which we strongly wanted to protect this sand that only we have - explains the mayor of Cabras Andrea Abis - I hope they are respected. Furthermore, they are very beautiful to look at." However, it is not yet clear whether there will be an obligation to use it. It is unlikely that the mayor will issue an ordinance, given that there are no health and safety problems, but in recent days he is working to understand how to act to make the showers used as much as possible: «I still need a few days to evaluate with the offices of the protected marine area of Sinis, the local police and the barracelli how to act - explains the mayor of Cabras - and therefore what type of measure to implement".
