The Supreme Court has ordered this Tuesday to demolish the tourist complex of the

Island of Vadecañas

(Cáceres), a luxury resort that began to be built in 2007 on land that was part of a Special Protection Zone.

The Contentious-Administrative Chamber has upheld the appeal filed by the entity Ecologistas en Acción-CODA against the order issued by the Superior Court of Justice of Extremadura in execution of the sentences that declared Decree 55/2007 of the Board null Extremadura which definitively approved the Project of Regional Interest promoted by Marina Isla de Valdecañas SA

Said order, issued in 2020, agreed to preserve the hotel, homes, golf course and facilities that are currently built and in operation.

The environmentalists resorted to understanding that the TSJ of Extremadura could not hide behind declaring "the partial material impossibility of executing the sentence" to allow the already built part of the resort to remain standing.

The Fifth Section of the Third Chamber, in a sentence presented by magistrate Octavio Herrero, agrees with the environmentalists in understanding that the material impossibility of demolishing the tourist complex does not exist.

Consequently, the Court agrees to demolish the entire part of the luxury resort that has already been built in the same conditions as the rest of the works and facilities whose demolition was determined by the order of execution itself.
