VEJER The owners of a garage in El Palmar, in the municipality of Vejer, yesterday had it knocked down after a court decided it was illegal. Built over seven years ago, the family insists that it was on land that had belonged to it 'for three generations'. The spokesperson for the family, Javier Porras, said that the garage, of some 90m2, was used for keeping agricultural machinery such as a tractor and a fertilizer sprayer. They had asked for a pardon on the execution of the sentence but it was denied. They had it knocked down or it would have cost them €20,000 through the Council.
