The Balearic parliament yesterday approved a motion presented by David Abril of Més by which the central government is to be called upon to comply with the Balearics statute of autonomy as it applies to the coastal public domain. In other words, the parliament wants regional powers to determine works and activities on the coast.

Out of interest, what happened to the ghastly floating bouncy castle things that were every where last year ! Pleased they gone though, they looked dangerous and spoilt the outlook !
I understand the desire to control what happens on the beaches locally, but can we trust the local politician not to apply a sun bed tax, to add to other charges and taxes they are all so prepared to apply to Tourists who do not vote in Mallorca.
Local politicans ? Sensible discretion ?
I posted a comment the other day because I understood Mes to be opposing ALL sunbeds etc. - however there clearly are some lovely stretches of coast where such beach furniture would be inappropriate. If I read the above article correctly, then it means that local politicians are not proposing a blanket ban, just the right to use sensible discretion.
