Palma.Twenty one years after work was halted on the Ses Covetes apartment complex in Campos, demolition teams finally moved in yesterday to knock the properties down.
After years of legal wrangling, the Balearic High Court ruled that the complex was illegal in November of last year, finally ending the legal battle and condemning the site to demolition.
Over the past week, demolition experts and engineers have been working round the clock to secure the demolition area and the Council of Majorca said yesterday that it could take as long as two months to completely clear the site. Part of the rubble, once tested, will be used to fill in the basements and underground car parks in an attempt to restore the area to its former glory.
The rest of the rubble, such as plastics, ceramics, iron and steel will be separated and especially treated.
The Balearic environmental group GOB and the Majorcan nationalist party, the PSM, which have both been campaigning since 1992 to have the project halted and demolished, finally welcomed the site of the demolition crews moving in yesterday morning.
