The Generalitat will challenge in court the ministerial order demarcating several sections of the coastline of Vinaròs and Benicarló. The Valencian Government argues that the measure could affect private homes.
The Third Vice-Presidency has given the green light to the Advocacy of the Generalitat to appeal the order from the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge that approves the demarcation in several sections of the coastline of Vinaròs and Benicarló. According to Castellón Plaza, the order is dated 30 July 2026.
The affected section measures approximately 2,249 meters and extends between Playa dels Cossis and the area around Barranco d'Aigua Oliva. The Generalitat had already opposed the file during its processing, with objections and an unfavourable report submitted on 10 March 2026, during the hearing process.
The Director General of Coasts, Ports and Airports, Marc García Manzana, explained that the regional government will defend the residents and legal certainty. For him, the effects of the demarcation go beyond drawing a line on a map.
“We are not just talking about a line on a map. We are talking about homes, family heritage, and people who may lose their house.”
The Third Vice-Presidency believes that the order does not comply with the law. With the authorisation, the Advocacy will be able to present the appeal before the contentious-administrative jurisdiction against the ministerial resolution.
For the property owners in the area, the judicial process opens a period of uncertainty regarding the final line of public maritime-terrestrial domain. The appeal will be submitted in the upcoming deadlines set by the contentious-administrative route.
