MALLORCA TODAY - Illegal homes in Pollensa face demolition

Three houses in Pollensa, two of them in Síller, face demolition as the Council of Mallorca has ruled them illegal, those in Síller being on "rustic" land and with swimming-pools, which is forbidden on rustic land.

The houses seem to be those primarily for holiday rent, and there are around a thousand such properties in Pollensa, not all of them "regularised" and accredited by the tourism ministry. Sanctions against illegal properties involve, at their most extreme, demolition and a fine of up to 125,000 euros.
