summer season about to start, the beach restaurant owners are still waiting for their position to be made officially legal.
The control of the coast should have been transferred to the Junta de Andalucía during the first quarter of the year, but still has not taken place. The Junta and the State have to negotiate the financial deal for the transfer of responsibility for the coast, and it seems the Junta has still not established which department will take on the extra reponsibilities.
A study from the Ministry of the Environment forecast that 742 chiringuitos currently on the sand could operate legally, 359 in Málaga, 218 in Cádiz, 70 in Almería, 58 in Huelva and 37 in Granada, and they are all in a legal limbo as a result of the delays.It’s estimated that beach restaurants in the region employ 40,000 and generate 500 million € a year.
