We’re having a rare season this year in Ibiza. After the closing of the major clubs for a month and the 4km oil slick threatening the coasts here another weird news. The owners of the six popular restaurants of ses Salinas and es Cavallet received last week a report called for their demolition. The proposal was released by the Environment Ministry concerned about the environmental conditions of the natural park of Ses Salinas. The establishments under threat are Guarana, Malibu, the Jockey Club and Sa Trinxa in ses Salinas and El Chiringuito and Chiringay in es Cavallet.
According to the report the establishments have a severely negative environmental effect on the coastal area and all have been partly built on public property, signifying their illegality.
The same report apparently does not rule out the possibility of re-building all of them on a smaller scale. The restaurants are only allowed to be a maximum of 150 square metres, 100 of which can be enclosed. All of the establishments currently exceed this legislation.
The recuperation of the zone in a protection programme is set to cost 165,000 euros.

In a joint project, the restaurants started to collect signatures of support from tourists and residents.
