GREENPEACE ACTIVISTS PAINT THE ‘ILEGAL HOTEL’

More than 100 Greenpeace activists has gone through with a striking action at the Hotel Azata del Sol by Playa del Algarrobico (Almeria, Spain), situated in the National Park of Cabo de Gata-Nijar.

The building was raised in 2003 and declared illegal in 2012 for having been built on non developable terrain. It constitutes a symbol of the corruption we always see in construction and urbanization, and also points out the complete absence of ecological consciousness.

The operation is the largest one ever made by the organization in Spain and consists of a giant black dot painted over the entire building. Inside the dot you can read the words ‘HOTEL ILEGAL‘. Nothing less than 8.000 square meters was painted with rollers, a form of protest we found interesting since it coincides with methods also used in graffiti.
