The much discussed and opposed “Ley de Costas” (the Coast Law) of Spain will soon expire, leaving thousands of coastal home owners of Spain in fear of having their properties demolished by the state.
In short, the Ley de Costas created in 1988 forbids the construction of privately owned property within 100 meters of the sea. The soon to expire law has created quite a spark in Spain as locals accuse the government of favouring developers who keep building their new projects at will – too close to the coastline for comfort.
