The building that housed a bar and restaurant that collapsed last Thursday in Palma de Mallorca did not have the proper permits. As a result of the incident, four people died.
Apparently, the collapse of the terrace floor on the first floor was caused by the "combination" of excess weight and some irregular construction work on the building, according to the mayor of Palma de Mallorca, Jaime Martínez, during a press conference held this Tuesday.
"There should not have been any activity on the top (of the building)," said the fire brigade spokesman, Eder García, explaining that the preliminary conclusion of the Palma Fire Brigade, contained in a report sent to the National Police, reported an overload of 21 people on the terrace at the time of the collapse.
Martínez stressed that the esplanade did not have a municipal activity license to receive customers, so the use of that area was illegal.
The tragic event caused the death of two German women, aged 20 and 30, a 44-year-old Senegalese man, and a 33-year-old Spanish woman who worked at the site.
Palma de Mallorca is very popular with tourists, especially the entertainment venue - the Medusa Beach Club - which was located near the beach, a very busy area of the island.
