A "chiringuito" beach bar has been installed in Illetes, despite Calvia town hall having been opposed. The Costas Authority gave its permission, even though the town hall had submitted a report in which it cited "technical issues" as reasons for permission being denied. The town hall adds that it has wanted to "renaturalise" the area.

There seems to be a big anti-chiringuito campaign by lots of authorities this year and many have not got permissions. If managed correctly they are great assets, but they haven’t been, by and large by the local authorities, who have just woken up to that fact and have gone sledge hammer in hand to cover their own failings. Having the Costas able to over-rule local authorities though is equally unhelpful and creates the usual Mallorcan mish-mash. Ultimately ending up with no, or poorly managed chiringuitos.
What's so wrong with having beach bars and amenities??
