Fortunately this huge crisis stopped illegal developpment, but I visited another pupulation of N. cavanillesii and N.x perez-larae, (distroyed) and not far from it, they are planning to destroy a wild beach plenty of endemics and also autumn narcissus species like N. papyraceus. They planning to build ANOTHER Macro-Hotel-Golf etc... somthing honestly really neccesary, isn't it? There is not other posible place.... you can sign against this abssurd poryect here:

thank you very much,
It's high time for people over here, to realise that Spain's touristic assets is to be found amongst landscapes, wilderness, gastronomy.... and not hotel-golf which are absurd in our country.

Rafa, I also know some Golf courses ( Sperone in Corsica for example ) which are natural reserves for wildlife, with lots of well protected plants and animals.
It depends how they manage the area...
