Coastal law under scrutiny: protection or a quiet free pass for beach bars?

Answer

Could beach bars in Mallorca be protected even if their permits have expired?

Yes, that is part of the concern raised in the debate. Some coastal businesses in Mallorca, such as long-established beach bars, could be considered for protection even when their concessions have expired. The key issue is whether each case is reviewed properly or whether protection is granted too broadly.
