Answer

Can private structures block access to the sea in Mallorca?

In Spain, free access to the coast is a constitutional principle, so structures that block the way to the sea can face legal scrutiny. In Mallorca, cases like Costa dels Pins show that coastal constructions may be challenged if they interfere with public access. The legal principle is clear, even if enforcement can take time.
