Spain relaxes law protecting coastline
New legislation allows more coastal construction that has damaged the seaside over decades.
Published On 11 May 2013
Decades of over-development on the Spanish coastline have blighted much of the seaside and it may now get worse thanks to changes to a law protecting it.
The coastline, coupled with the sunny climate, has long been a draw for millions of tourists.
But the government has changed a law that used to restrict coastal construction.
