Casa Las Señoras demolition dispute in Pájara

Overview

A dispute has emerged regarding the planned demolition of Casa Las Señoras, a structure over 150 years old in Cueva de la Negra, Pájara. Local political groups, including the Asambleas Municipales de Fuerteventura (AMF), initially urged the Pájara local government to suspend the demolition to allow for an evaluation of the building’s historical, ethnographic, and testimonial value. They argued the site is the last standing structure of a former coastal settlement tied to local fishing and shellfish harvesting families.

Despite previous precautionary measures implemented by the Cabildo of Fuerteventura to suspend the demolition for documentation purposes, the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and the Directorate General for Coasts have proceeded with the process. Local representatives continue to criticize the central government, asserting that the demolition ignores the heritage value of the property and threatens to cause an “irreparable loss of local identity and history.”
