The beach bar in Costa dels Pins will have to eliminate the terrace on one side of the bar. The Costas Authority has ordered this, and Mauricio Caccianiga, who runs the bar, says that this will mean dismissing five employees who work there each year and the loss of twenty tables.

More fuel for the independents who want shot of Madrid (from where the Costas Authority are based ironically). Roger is right in his observation of the disconnectedness of how things (don’t) work in Spain. How anything is ever done is often beyond me. Somehow it is, usually by private enterprise and determination. Anything to do with the Govt is a total nightmare.
So this terrace has been there 55 years now it’s a problem. It is if I remember a isolated beech by Costa standards. But I assume bar or not it will remain open to the people. Those people will need amenities like drinks and food and may I say toilets. If there is no bar then packaged food and drinks will be brought by said people with them on the visit. To this isolated beach. So bins will have to be provided by authorities with all the overspill and environmental mess that comes with human activity. I won’t emphasise toilets but you have to go somewhere. Controls and convenience happen in this private bar why change what ain’t broken.
Fred's suggestion is a bit archaic but I understand the sentiment......but this is what happens when the public sector is allowed to control the private sector over which tourism is essentially a private sector operation....the role of government should be to define the framework(s) within which the sector can thrive for the benefit of its customers (tourists)....failure to do his will take us back to some kind of archaic style of tourism operation whereby every tourist is effectively a government customer....this is a disaster for the future and so out of date.....whilst Spain may still be statistically the most sought-after in the world due to overall scale, there are many many other smaller destinations around the globe that are offering a much better product.
Members of the Costas Authority should be lined up against a wall and shot. Pathetic miserable anti fun morons.
