A long administrative process
The file (no. 2022/002483) was initially approved by the Local Government Board on February 2, 2023, which accepted the corresponding technical and legal reports.
The project – drafted by the architect Luis Quesada Salcedo – affects the property located at 60 Monte Kilimanjaro Street, Cala Llonga, and consists of a comprehensive renovation and extension to adapt it to the new tourist category.
At the meeting of January 26, 2024, the Governing Board returned to the matter, following a legal report that partially modified the previous agreement.

A tourist establishment subject to strict urban development conditions
The licensing agreement details numerous technical and urban planning conditions that must be met before and during the works, as well as to obtain the final construction certificate.
These include:
- A bond of 13,341 euros to guarantee the pending urbanization works on the plot (sidewalks, lighting, undergrounding of infrastructures and partial asphalting).
- The transfer to the City Council of 953 m² as Public Open Space, by means of a public deed and registration.
- The linking of the building to the tourist use, by means of inscription in the Property Registry and in the insular Registry of companies and tourist activities.
- The payment of a 5% compensation on the excess buildability, which in this case amounts to 56,911.57 euros.
“Respect the natural condition of the site.”
Luis Quesada‘s LQArquitectura studio has detailed that “the idea of the project is based on the magic of the place. The location of the building takes us to the points of any landscape route called “viewpoints”, where one goes to look to enjoy”.
In addition, through social networks, they have remarked that “our goal is to respect, with our intervention, this natural condition of the place, helping to soften and give harmony to the current layout of these outdoor spaces, incorporating new elements and uses in the different levels of relationship between the exterior and the building to enhance this suggestive experience of inhabiting this lookout building”.
