An illegally operated hotel was discovered in a Spanish pilgrimage site. Now the diocese of Mallorca is being investigated.
According to information from “Church and Life”, the diocese of Mallorca could get into legal difficulties. He is accused of illegally running a hotel in a pilgrimage site.
The facility in question is located in Lluc, a pilgrimage site in the Tramuntana Mountains. The place is a destination on the Spanish Mediterranean island that is particularly popular with hikers and cyclists.
After carrying out an on-site inspection, the Spanish tax authorities consider it proven that the diocese was operating a hotel without permission. During their visit, the officials found 170 people in 99 rooms. Additional services such as breakfast and half-board were also offered. Surprisingly, most of the guests were foreigners and cycle tourists. The catch: there was not a single regular pilgrim among these guests.
However, according to Church and Life, the diocese of Mallorca only has a license to offer accommodation to pilgrims, but not to operate a regular hotel.
In addition, according to the daily newspaper “Diario de Mallorca”, the hotel was also advertised on booking sites on the Internet. It remains to be seen what further investigations will reveal. However, a possible punishment through criminal proceedings is already looming.
Before the holiday season really gets going, the anger of locals against visitors from abroad is growing in many tourist regions. According to experts, there is only one thing that can help: “Tough action”.
