Spanish Beach Bars Saved

Chiringuitos Saved

Good news for all those who love to have a coffee and tapas on the beach.

The ministry of the Environment has now said that the beach restaurants – chiringuitos – can stay on the sand without disciplinary action being taken against them.

Only those where a move is easily possible off the sand will do so, and only with the agreement of the owners.

This is a new concession on the part of central government, which had announced pans to impose the 18 year old Ley de Costas (coastal law) which decreed that all beech was public land and the restaurants should be moved off it.

It as now been decided that the chiringuitos are now beach installations and no further action will be taken.
