What changed

Who is affected
Owners and operators of legally registered tourist accommodation (hotels, hotel-apartments, rural houses, campsites, and tourist apartment complexes) located on urban land in Andalusia may benefit from this flexibility.
What to look out for
→ Tourist accommodation owners wishing to undertake expansion or renovation works should apply for the relevant municipal building licence within the three-year window and obtain the prior tourism authority report confirming the works serve qualifying purposes.
