Junta de Andalucía pardons 142 illegally built homes in Jaén
The properties concerned have been built in local river beds
The Junta de Andalucía has pardoned the construction of 142 illegal homes which had been built in a riverbed in Jaén. A report from the Guadalquivir Water Board, dating from 2004, determined that 155 villas had been constructed illegally at a distance of less than 50 metres from the river, and thus occupied public land next to the Eliche, Quiebrajano and Jaén rivers.
