The Junta de Andalucía has drawn up a list of 120 singular 20th century buildings in Málaga province which they say must be protected for future generations.

The houses, hotels, civil buildings, and churches on the list are joined by the Hotel Miramar in Málaga city. Built in 1926 it was first called the Hotel Príncipe de Asturias, and was then used as the Málaga court building. Latest plans are to make it into a hotel yet again. The Hotel Málaga Palacio is also on the Junta’s list which is being published under the grand title – The Andalucian Registry of Contemporary Architecture.

Outside Málaga city some of the other buildings on the list are the Don Pepe and Don Carlos hotels in Marbella, the Las Lomas de Marbella Club, Pub El Cerro in Alhaurín de la Torre, the Eurosol apartments in Torremolinos, Bahia Dorada in Estepona, the Casa Rudofsky in Frigiliana and even the water works of the El Chorro dam.

The presence of buildings on the list will mean further protection for them with only partial reforms allowed and demolition prohibited.
