Happy ending for La Caleta. The beachfront restaurant serving seafood dishes in Sant Vicenç de Montalt since 1995 has avoided the closure of the premises. This has been decided by the Contentious-Administrative Court number 9 of Barcelona, which has temporarily suspended the eviction of the restaurant that was planned for this Thursday, July 30. For now, the postponement is for three months, until the end of the summer season.

The story that the restaurant La Caleta in Sant Vicenç de Montalt is experiencing has three protagonists: Adif, the State Coastal Demarcation (in Barcelona) and the Casado family, who have been serving seafood dishes there since 1955. Since Albert Casado's grandfather, the current generation in charge, opened the restaurant located between the beach and the road, they have paid a semi-annual rent to Adif, who represented that they were the owner of the land. However, without the Casado family knowing, in 2017 the owner of the property passed to the State Coastal Demarcation in Barcelona, an agency that depends on the Ministry of Ecological Transition. And this is where the big mess begins.
