CAFES and bars across the Costa del Sol are fighting a tax on awnings and windbreaks.

The tax, which has received initial approval from the Partido Popular, will cost businesses €154 a year for each awning.

The Torremolinos Development Association has filed a host of complaints with the town hall, claiming the tax is unfair, excessive and illegal.

The group claims some popular establishments could face annual bills in excess of €1,000.

The tax will not be limited to newly installed awnings but levied on all existing ones.
