Court dismisses measures requested by residents of Villas Caravaning in Cartagena

A court has dismissed the residents' request for a judicial administrator for the Villas Caravaning campsite in La Manga. The management company Caravaning Costa Cálida stated the ruling confirms its position: the closure is due to unauthorized constructions by some owners and a community debt of 700,000 euros, not its management. The company continues dialogue with Cartagena City Council regarding a potential reopening.
