Environmentalists GOB say that owners of illegal homes on land prone to flooding in the Balearics have started the process to legalise these homes out of fear that an imminent change in the law will leave them with no option to do so.

So glad I do not live behind the main beach in Santa Ponsa. There is a disaster waiting to happen some day. The social stuff can be rebuilt and should be vacant if the time comes. The school, football and tennis grounds, hotel beer gardens ( hurrah) bars and shops on the front could all potentially disappear. Further back is residential, some of which has been flooded at least once in my memory. Who gave permission for them to be built ?
