Article 68 of the General Coastal Regulation does not allow fixed installations to be installed on beaches considered to be natural, which are those where the back part of the beach has land classified as rustic, as is the case of the land behind Cala Deià.

In relation to the information appearing in the media referring to the proposal of refusal by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge and where it is reported that the Deià Town Council has presented allegations in favour of the concession of this bar installed on the beach of Cala Deià, the GOB believes it is appropriate to inform that the granting of a concession for the fixed installation of a bar and terrace would entail a breach of the provisions of the coastal legislation.

It is very clear that Article 68 of the General Coastal Regulations does not allow the occupation, with fixed installations, on beaches considered natural, which are those where the back part has land classified as rustic, as is the case of the classification of the land behind Cala Deià, where the Bar de Can Lluc is located.

Therefore, a hypothetical granting of a concession with fixed installations in Cala Deia would be a clear infringement of the coastal regulations.

On the other hand, it should also be noted that a hypothetical granting of this concession would be null and void as the competent administration has not called a tender for this installation, as it is a private use for lucrative service activities, which cannot be authorised without the prior tender established in article 174.3 of the Coastal Law.
