Munar and Matas decide to buy Raixa

On December 28, the President of the Mallorcan Council, Maria Antònia Munar, and the Minister of Environment of the Spanish central Government, Jaume Matas, decided to by the Raixa property for 1.400 millions of pesetas.

Thus, the German designer Jil Sander will not be able to execute the purchase option for Raixa that she had signed in November with the heirs of Antoni Jaume Nadal, current owners of the emblematic stately home situated in the municipality of Bunyola.

The signed agreement states that the Ministry of Environment will contribute with 1.000 millions of pesetas in the acquisition of the property and the Mallorcan Council will pay the other 400 millions. According to the Press Cabinet of the Mallorcan Council, once Raixa becomes publicly owned, a mixed commission will be created to rehabilitate the property with the participation of the Mallorcan Council and the Ministry of Environment. When the building works are finished, the property will become the headquarters of the Foundation "Parques Nacionales" of the Balearic Islands.
