One by one the bricks have come loose ending one of the buildings with the most personality in Les Rotes. The landscape of Punta Negra will no longer be the same, leaving nothing behind what was once the most imposing of the estates in the area. It is history.
Only a couple of days have been needed to turn a building with an area of 337 square meters into a wasteland, divided between two large main floors and a tiny third of barely 9 m2. Although a priori the size of this third floor made it insignificant, the truth is that the weight of the building's personality and the most iconic part of the place fell on it. This was a tower that stood out from the center of the roof and inside which the neighbors affirm that there was a small chapel. It was the heart of the house, and the last thing to stop under the demolition machines.
The farm was located on an area of 14.441 square meters. It is the largest extension of developable land in Carrer Unicorni, where it is located, and one of the largest in Les Rotes. Or it was, because now a dozen plots will be extracted from there that will completely change the landscape of the place. Where previously the balance between the original natural landscape and brick was preserved, soon only construction will remain and green space will be limited to the gardens of these luxury villas.
The City Council removed the protection of the now disappeared property
The most striking thing about this demolition is not the fact itself, but how the execution has been allowed. It is a building that was protected in the catalog of real estate that the Dénia City Council approved in 2004. However, in the update of this, dated 2017, this house had been excluded, like so many others.
Many of those who left the catalog in 2017 have suffered the same fate after the local administration turned its back on them. What was once protected to preserve for its value has now been sold to the highest bidder.

The sociatas already know. Corruption only exists on the other side. Namely the pasta that they take for discontinuing and reparcelling.
Protect at the expense of others, so I also want the neighbors' houses to be protected but mine is not clear….
To bread, bread and wine, who wants to have houses protected by general interest that they maintain with general taxes and have exemption from ibi and other taxes. How beautiful is the open bar when Olga another hahaha
So I spend good money on a good housing project and within 60 years I leave it to my grandchildren and they cannot tear it down because the authority of the moment says so? No man, it is my property and if it is a work of art that they pay me at market price whoever wants it.
That's how it is. If you have a historical and cataloged house. If unfortunately you can't keep it, you sell it to a family that can. But here the problem has been that the city council has removed it from the list of protected historic houses. This is a neglect of Denia's heritage. This is one that has already disappeared ... what will be the next ones? You have to protect your identity and culture.
To all of you who criticize, I would like to know what you would do if the interrenon was yours and was valued in millions of euros that it should be worth….
Surely you would see it from another perspective
You have beat around the bush. Listed and protected buildings are part of the heritage and must be protected. There is no other.
Your answer is like saying, well, the owner of Gaudí's batlló house has torn it down to make an office farm. They paid you a dough .... These decisions should not be left in whether it is a fruitful business or not. These cataloged constructions are historical and are the ones that give character and history to the places. To demolish them is to have little culture, and little love for the land where you are from. It is making history disappear.
From the town hall a catalog must be made with the buildings that represent the history of the place, and not only that. They should allocate a budget for their rehabilitation. Many times the owners inherit this type of building, and due to lack of interest, or lack of means, the properties are kept in very poor condition.
Bad for the City Council, bad for the Urnabismo council of the Denia town hall. For not allocating a budget for rehabilitation, for removing these buildings from the catalog, and leaving it in the hands of speculators.

Only the ibi is 8000 euros and the restoration of the house two million. It is very easy to talk
That is why I have said that the City Council should allocate budgets for the rehabilitation. And if you can't keep it, then you sell it. That easy. The City Council has been negligent. This is very serious and very corrupt.
The Council should be asked to explain why the protection on the house was lifted!
It's a shame, I was staying in that house in 2000, it was run by a Spanish psychiatrist who practiced with criminal patients in Sweden and Canada, after his retirement he returned to Denia, a house inherited from his family, the land was huge with views spectacular of the sea as well as the typical vegetation of Montgo. She was a peculiar and single person without descendants. As a curious fact, he kept all the magazines from the 60s on his furniture, also from that time. The Dr. was passionate about cycling, inside the house he kept his more than 20 bicycles, We had long hours of gathering, a cold and cultured person, He said that the house was going to be inherited by a congregation of nuns in the area. DEP Dr.
If the nuns inherited it is clear that they could not cope with the maintenance of the place, the City Council has done them a great favor by discontinuing the property. And if others inherited or the property ended up in the hands of others, the favor remains the same. That it was listed was a problem for them.
Let's hope we don't go back to another brick-related crisis.
Green spaces are of little or no interest, being able to have recreational areas for children and adults and where they can breathe fresh air and enjoy an outdoor space and nature between sea and mountains.
What matters is doing business, ambition has no limits and Dénia does not have enough infrastructure to house so many buildings and properties.
True "cities" attached to our city have begun to occupy land and spread like foam.
No worry, this «Denia or Spain Business Model» is not sustainable, sooner or later their will be no more foreign tourism, may be the Spanish visitors will fill the gap again ????
Who wants to come to a dirty town (in all areas), to dirty beaches, overall bad service and rip-off?
Who is responsible - the Citizens who voted for this government.
The exedus of good foreign tax payers has all ready started.
All right, Bernardo, but they don't want to admit it. They only know one way to make money and that is that real estate tourist speculation. It does not matter to them what they destroy as if they destroy their own coastline, beaches, countryside, they will continue to do so.
What a shame on the city council and politicians who allow this and so many other urban horrors!
We are going to see what cubic mats of plasterboard they build now and how much they are going to sell them. As long as they finish them and do not leave the skeleton abandoned as it happened in 2008 ...
How terrible!
That awful!
The money god is Taliban.
