No political person in charge of Town Hall of Granadilla de Abona wanted to give his opinion yesterday about the decision of the National Court to approve the demarcation of the coast of that municipality, which extends over more than three kilometers between Playa Pelada and El Médano, which affects 92 properties, six of them they are municipal, a hotel, and neighborhood communities that bring together some 1,200 owners. Of course, consulted municipal sources affirm that they are studying with the legal services the possibility of resorting to the Supreme Court.
The municipal government of Granadilla de Abona filed an appeal on February 22, 2018 with the allegations to the demarcation file of the maritime-terrestrial public domain carried out by the Coastal Service of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which went from 20 meters to 100. He then announced that he was presenting this appeal with the aim of ensuring the general interest of those affected by this delimitation, which is defended by the General Planning Plan (PGO) of 2005 and proposes reducing the line from 100 to 20 meters of easement of protection.
In this file, now approved by the National Court, apart from the six municipal properties, there are eight neighboring communities -Casa Inglesa, Lagos de Miramar III, La Jaquita, Maresía, Marina, Los Martines, Médano Beach and Avenida Europa 25, and , in addition, a dozen plots; the developer Tenesca, SA appears on the list with 32 parcels; a hotel is partially affected, and the rest of the land subject to possession recovery belongs to individuals, especially foreigners. The unknown is two properties whose ownership is under investigation. It must be remembered that places like Los Martines, Marina and La Jaquita, for example, are residential areas separated from the seashore by road, beach or wasteland.

Likewise, the case of the Hotel Médano, built long before the Coastal Law of 1988, is also subject to a procedure for the recovery of possession of the maritime-terrestrial public domain space, once the concession has ended, and is being discussed in everything that refers to its solarium, located on the sea.
The Canarian Government claimed in 2019 that the responsibility for the land not being considered urban and increasing the space owned by Costas lies exclusively with the City Council, since it did not carry out the planned actions, for example, the road that would link the aforementioned partial plans. The State Attorney’s Office and the National Court reject the expiration of the entire procedure, as claimed by the City Council.
