Midsummer is here, and with the heat of these August days, there's no doubt that the best plan for the day is to get away from the big cities and head to the sea to cool off. The Costa Brava is the top destination in our country, and from one end to the other, you'll find plenty of beautiful beaches to lay out your towel, swim, or sunbathe. However, before or after a swim, you can't miss the precious moment of sitting on the terrace of a good bar or restaurant, with spectacular views of the sea, and enjoy some tapas, have a vermouth, have a cocktail, or order a fish and seafood rice dish that will leave its mark.

Everything has happened very quickly. On Tuesday, May 20, the Sitges Sea Club, a non-profit social club related to sea sports, received an email from the Ministry for Ecological Transition notifying them that their facilities would be demolished on June 2. It was a notification, not a court ruling, and they were not given the opportunity to appeal. However, today, the Supreme Court decided to open a separate suspension proceeding to analyze whether it is necessary to suspend the administration's agreement ordering the demolition of the Sea Club facilities and the Maria Teresa pool. "The email didn't mention that they're relying on a 2003 Supreme Court ruling, which told us they would demolish the Club de Mar, but that was in 2003; so many years later, the ruling has already lapsed," says Gonzalo Fuster-Fabra, former vice president and spokesperson for the Club de Mar de Sitge, regarding the legality or otherwise of the measures adopted by the ministry. In a state of law, only judges should rule on the legality of an administrative decision. Thus, the Supreme Court could suspend the demolition of the building on June 2.
