Un grupo de parapentistas fuerza en los tribunales la demolición de un chalé con 11 dormitorios en la mejor atalaya de Zarautz

A group of paragliders are urging the courts to demolish an 11-bedroom chalet on the top of Talaimendi, the highest lookout point in Zarautz, Gipuzkoa, Spain. The luxurious structure, built by a Zarautz family consisting of a mother and her 10 children, including former PNV deputy Maite Garrastazu, was meant to replace an old, dilapidated farmhouse that had fallen into disrepair.

Situated on a non-urbanizable plot of land under special protection and classified as an ecological corridor, the building is in direct violation of the reconstruction regime for farmsteads outlined in the Basque soil law. Following a complaint lodged by paragliders, the courts declared the chalet's municipal licenses invalid and ordered its demolition in January 2025, citing its non-compliance with the reconstruction provisions.

The Supreme Court recently dismissed the property owners' appeals, paving the way for the restoration of the land to its pre-construction state.
