Illegal structures at Calarreona campsite in Águilas ordered to be demolished
ARCHIVED ARTICLE -
Protected landscape regulations have blocked the reopening of the former campsite
The
Calarreona campsite in Águilas, located within the Cuatro Calas protected area, faces a definitive setback as Águilas Town Hall has ordered the demolition of illegal wooden constructions on the site.
The area, part of a flood zone, has long been deemed unsuitable for the structures, which are considered “not legalisable”.
The facilities in question include three wooden huts intended for catering and use by a DJ, along with facilities for water, drainage and electricity, all of which were built illegally.
A fine of over 65,000 euros has also been imposed on the developer for a “very serious urban infraction”; they now have two months to submit a project to demolish the structures to restore compliance with planning laws.
Efforts to reopen the campsite, which operated from 1985 to 2005, have been repeatedly blocked by strict regulations. A previous proposal for 187 pitches, a bar and other services was rejected by Murcia’s regional government, citing environmental incompatibilities and flood risks.
