Mojácar, Maui and Madness

Mojácar is becoming a rather odd place. It's turned from a sleepy village 'run by hippies' to an uneasy mixture of Disneyville and Butlins.
While the village is the Disney part, carefully scrubbed of anything authentic and re-invented with a strong-line in cheap souvenirs, the beach has been made over to sand and spade family tourism, perhaps in a nod to the powerful Catalonian-owned hotels that bookend the resort.
The latest reverse for the party-goers is the insistence on building a combination walkway and seawall, with a slightly pointless cycle-path attached (our lycra-clad bicycle guests prefer the road). To this end, a number of beach-bars (by coincidence, none of them under local management) have been or are being inconvenienced by having the pathway interrupting their simple access to the sea and, in the latest cases, having some of their space re-zoned by the town hall planners. This would mean, in the case of the Patio beach bar, losing about three quarters of its area and turning it into a kiosk. Bea, who has rented it for twenty years, has understandably pulled out. 
On Tuesday, the rather larger (and powerful) Maui was finally sealed by order of the Town Hall for noise contamination, and has been fined 20,000€ and a two-year closure (all arbitrary and illegal according to their lawyer). The Maui was the leading voice in the opposition to the 'Paseo Maritimo' the beach-walk so popular with the aforementioned sand and spade tourism.
In the village, the long-awaited new town hall building, with a lift and unbeatable views, located under the 'Mirador' (view-point) which appears to have melted and taken over most of the Plaza Nueva, remains unfinished after five years.
From this viewpoint, one can appreciate the so-called Valley of the Pyramids. In truth, there's only one, which is Old Mojácar, currently being dismantled by a team of architects who think that the village started there in around 900AD, which seems unlikely since Mojácar was known in the Phoenician times. The dig has 60,000€ of town hall money behind it for 2020, so no doubt they know more than I do, having merely lived at the foot of it for over fifty years.
The mayoress' autocratic views brook no dissension. She wants to control the town's future. We wish her luck from our new home, located down the road a spell...
