The urban planning conflict regarding the El Algarrobico hotel in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park continues to impact the municipality of Carboneras. Following an announcement by the Junta de Andalucía to restore territorial legality—which requires the developer, Azata, to submit a demolition project—Mayor Salvador Hernández has called for institutional cooperation to resolve the two-decade-long dispute.

Hernández has expressed that the municipality has suffered from continuous judicial and media scrutiny. He has urged administrations to act with “height of vision” to reach a final solution. Amidst these challenges, the Mayor is reportedly managing the municipal government with minimal support, facing political isolation during plenary sessions as several council members have failed to attend.
