The work of Eduardo Blanco Alvarez, artist...

Camp de Mar has been popular with many artists over the years and we often feature their work. So, if anyone is interested in owning an original watercolour of the island restaurant for 200 euros, then pop over to the page of Eduardo Blanco Alvarez on ARTEnet.

For copyright reasons, we cannot actually show you the painting!

Island restaurant under threat of demolition

News reaches us that Camp de Mar's world famous Illetas Bar & Restaurante could be demolished.

A Supreme Court ruling obtained by the authority in Madrid responsible for public beaches throughout Spain affects beachbars - Chiringuitos, especially those of a permanent nature. The new law requires such structures to be removable at the end of the holiday season.

As the 54 year old island restaurant is not, it faces demolition.

The regional environment ministry has enquired of Madrid about the legality of Camp de Mar's key tourist feature, and over a dozen others around Mallorca, so keep watching this space.
