A resident of Mojacar, identified only by their initials J.C.D.A., has been given one of the biggest fines ever given by the Servicio Provincial de Costas de Almeria, the body responsible for policing the beaches of Almeria regarding construction and use.
The fine, which came to more than 5,000 euros was given for building a chiringuito or beach bar on public land on the Las Ventanitas beach in Mojacar. The construction was no bamboo and palm leaf affair. The illegal construction included a stone wall almost thirty feet long and nearly four feet high and another wall, this time made of concrete breeze blocks, about twenty feet long and three high. There was also a fifteen foot wooden stair and a 67 foot long wooden fence. All of this invading what is known as maritime-terrestrial public domain, i.e. the beach, an area protected by law.
