It would bring his 'La Gaviota' Marbella home into legality

El País has confirmed an article in Hola magazine which says that Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith are to lose a strip of land from their villa plot at Los Monteros in Marbella.

1,240 square metres of their garden, which runs directly along the beach, is designed for public equipment in the urban plan, and will be taken away in order to allow the public direct access to the beach, as demanded in the Ley de Costas.

Banderas purchased the property from the late broadcaster Encarna Sánchez, who had it built illegally when Jesús Gil was mayor of the town. He’ll probably be happy with the loss of part of the garden as an earlier sentence from the Andalucia High Court in 2003 demanding the demolition of the entire property, called ‘La Gaviota’ has since been overturned.
