The Supreme Court has upheld a ruling that part of the Hotel Bahía Tropical in Almuñecar should be demolished as it breaches planning regulations and contravenes the PGOU.
The building, located between the beaches of Tesorillo and Pozuelo, has been the subject of several lawsuits.
Residents in the area complained that the building completely blocked their view and the Junta de Andalucía complained regarding planning irregularities.
The plot of land used for the hotel, some 10,300 square metres, was, according to the Supreme Court ruling, for the purpose of building small blocks and detached chalets with garden areas.
What was built was a hotel complex varying in height from three to seven floors. Under the PGOU, only a small part of the land was available for the construction of a hotel.
