It was October 2009. Residents of Muro who had rights to the cottages in Ses Casetes des Capellans staged a protest. The Costas Authority was threatening this small part of Playa de Muro by the boundary with Can Picafort with the demolition of many of the cottages and bars. This particular threat was not followed up, but there was subsequently a redrawing of the demarcation line. The Costas Authority is officially known as Demarcación de Costas, this referring to where public maritime-terrestrial domain ends, a domain over which the Costas have responsibility.

Transfer of Costas Authority powers to the Balearic government gives some hope
