Guardamar Beach Demolitions: Businesses Suffer, Residents Protest Guardamar del Segura, Spain – The demolition of two historic bars on Babilonia beach has sparked outrage among local businesses and residents. The demolitions, part of a larger coastal development plan, have left many feeling abandoned and unheard. Rebeca Pérez, manager of one of the demolished bars, describes the devastating impact. "They cut our electricity and water while we were working," she says, "forcing us to lay off our employees within 48 hours. It's been catastrophic." The planned demolition of nearby homes on September 15th has further inflamed tensions. David Renner, a resident, has started a social media campaign to raise awareness and fight the demolitions. "This isn't just about buildings; it's about our community and our history," he states. The situation highlights the complexities of coastal development and the need for better communication and support for affected businesses and residents.
