Xabi Alonso And his wife, Nagore Aranburu, settled in Germany, have found themselves in trouble with their chalet in San Sebastián. The house is built on Mount Igueldo, one of the areas with the most purchasing power in the city of San Sebastian with spectacular views of La Concha Bay.
The Bayer Leverkusen coach, who has already left his problems with the Treasury behind after being victorious in court, and his wife have this land registered with Tavaro XXI S. L, a company of which Aranburu is the sole administrator.
The family, who also owns an impressive home in El Viso (Madrid), bought the 10,728 square meter plot in 2018. Along with the land, they also acquired the corresponding construction license to raise the foundations of the house, which has finally given leads to a spectacular chalet of 570 square meters above ground and another 571 below ground. The land and the license cost them 700,000 euros, according to The Basque Journal.
About six years later, Alonso has come across a demand from three associations in the Igueldo neighborhood (one for neighbors, another environmentalist and another cultural); and also with a ruling from the Contentious Administrative Court No. 3 of San Sebastián. However, it should be noted that this sentence is not against the former Liverpool player, but against the City Council. The judge orders the annulment of his licenses, although not the demolition of the chalet, as he explains The world. Mayor Eneko Goia, of the PNV, has announced that the council is going to appeal.
The controversy dates back to 2016
The land purchased by Alonso and his wife in 2018 has passed through several hands since 2016. That year the Basque institutions expropriated the Goiatz-Berri hamlet, located in Martutene, about 10 kilometers from Igueldo, to build part of the high-line route. speed. The owner was given another “non-developable” land in Txalín, on the slopes of Mount Igueldo, along with a license to rebuild the demolished farmhouse.
About six years later, the judge concludes in his order that the chalet built by Alonso and Aranburu does not comply with the requirements demanded by that license, since they point out that the reconstruction of the hamlet required “although not an exact replica”, but “the greatest possible respect” to the original building. In this sense, the judge maintains that “absolutely different buildings have been built that prevent the condition from being considered fulfilled.”
It should be noted that in 2018 the former soccer player and the digital creator presented a project with some variations regarding the original farmhouse. The municipal architect of San Sebastián validated the construction license.
