Amazing, for once common sense has prevailed. The ‘majority’ of the hotel mentioned in the post below will be demolished, with work beginning almost immediately. The government claims that the land on which it is built “belongs to everyone”, whilst the Mayor of Carboneras, where it has been built, claims that lasting damage will be done to the area’s economic growth. Perhaps he is right, and I am sorry for that, but there are other ways to manage areas of outstanding natural beauty whilst still keeping the local economy alive and well.

I’m sorry but I will not believe this demolition untill I see it done. The owners of the hotel would be entitled to a huge monetary compensation that would have to be paid by the Town Hall, since they had a proper and valid licence given by the town hall (that was ultimately revoked by a higher institution, yes, but it was perfectly legal at the time of construction). I say this file will get tangled up in legal courts and no demolition will be made. That’s my guess.

You’re probably right…
