Tracked Down
The Town Hall of San Jose has eventually managed to locate the owner
of the old dolphinarium, which has lain in ruins for the last 20 years.
The task of finding the proprietor was made more difficult due to the fact
he was not enrolled at the Land Registry, and the land had been bought
through a series of auctions.
However, after exhaustive investigation the owner has eventually been discovered
in Madrid, and negotiations will now begin to buy the land.
Mayor Josep Mari Ribas Agustinet admitted it was of little value,
as nothing could ever be built there as the land had now become protected
within the ses Salinas natural park.
He revealed that the idea was to sit down to some civil discussions with the owner
to try and negotiate the sale of the land.
However, he warned if an agreement could not be reached the Town Hall would
contemplate expropriating the land, although this would remain a last resort.
The dolphinarium was build during the 70s but has remained derelict
for the better part of the last 25 years.
The disused park is made up of a number of swimming pools, terraces and other parts,
all of which the Town Hall would like to demolish to return the area back
to its original state.
