Construction company refuses payment for El Algarrobico

From Typically Spanish

Azata, the construction company which built the controversial Hotel El Algarrobico in Carboneras, has refused to accept payment from the Junta de Andalucía for the plot on which the hotel stands together with an adjacent site.

Azata would have been paid more than 2.3 million € for the two plots, after the courts recently awarded the Junta de Andalucía the retrospective rights of first refusal on their purchase, as both lie within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Nature Park. The regional government said they planned to demolish the hotel and return the site to its former condition.

Azata representatives have refused the payment and have announced an administrative appeal to the Andaluz Supreme Court. That body will now have to rule on which party is deemed to be the owner of the land.

Construction work at the site is currently halted under a ruling issued by an Almería court in a separate case.
