Mallorca’s Sant Carles castle faces waste plant plan

Mallorca’s Sant Carles castle faces a proposed waste plant beside it in Portopí: heritage group ARCA is opposing the Balearic Port Authority’s plan. The group raised its objections on Friday 13 November at a meeting of heritage associations in Barcelona, which runs until Sunday.

ARCA says the authority wants to put a Marpol waste plant beside the castle and all boat-repair facilities near both the castle and the historic Torre de Señales.

The group wants boat-repair businesses moved to Moll Vell, as agreed in the previous legislative term. It is calling for Portopí’s quay to be kept free of industrial use and for a heritage, cultural and nature park linking the castle, Portopí harbour and the Torre de Señales.
