The seafront restaurants of Kansas and PicNic, and the Sitges Club de Mar, are all getting nearer to seeing how Spain’s ‘Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge’ plans to close the businesses in order to demolish the current buildings.
Last week it became known that an emblematic restaurant in Vilassar de Mar, the ‘Palomares’, with more than half a century of activity, will close its doors in May due to the demolition of one of the buildings with the most history in the locality. To try to avoid this, the council of Vilassar de Mar is working to turn the building into a Cultural Asset of Local Interest, although it may not be enough.
In the same way, Sitges Town Council, with the intention of protecting the buildings, provisionally declared in 2016 the architectural complex that makes up the facilities of Restaurant PicNic, Restaurant Kansas and Club de Mar as a Cultural Property of Local Interest. However, the local council, conditioned by the Ministry’s comments of the initial proposal, has since planned to definitively approve the protection of only the facilities of the Club de Mar in a future plenary session.
