Jordi Oliver is the owner of the Can Lluc restaurant in Cala Deya, which has operated for 42 years but now faces an uncertain future because the Costas Authority delegation in the Balearics has decided not to renew the concession for its terrace. "It's a joke," he says, adding that he has been waiting for fourteen years for the Costas to respond to a request for permission and explaining that the authority has been granting him temporary permits since 2008.

Ulla JacksonUlla Just when going up market with local people trading in a Majorca style , quality not quantity, err what happened to that project with this decision. I’ve drank and eaten lunch and dinner at these two establishments over the years Although I must admit I didn’t arrive in the style of the Roper party did in the Night Manager. Yes it can get busy during the day but it’s hardy regent street on Christmas Eve. Maybe your right there is some ulterior motive against these traders. Big Mac any one.
The costas (NOT a Balearic government entity, but a Spanish state agency) simply have too much power. And it's being abused, most likely for political or ideological reasons. This nonsense needs to stop. End of.
This Costas Authorities smell of getting more taxes and rebuilding a Council Property that has to pay any tax and its increased charging revenues.
The Costas authorities are Nazis. Plain and simple.
What about this Costas making hellbent decisions about restaurants who are popular by clients and owners have had the restaurants for a very long as time. To me ut seems like revenge - or have the owners not paid enough for keeping them opened?
