Overview
- The Pé na Praia chiringuito on Playa de A Lapa in Sanxenxo was completely calcinated by a fire that broke out around six in the morning on Monday and left the venue unusable.
- Emergency teams from Emerxencias Sanxenxo, Bomberos de O Salnés and the Policía Local extinguished the flames and reported no injuries because the bar was closed at the time.
- Municipal officials say the fire started in the kitchen and that the chiringuito’s mainly wooden construction allowed the blaze to spread rapidly and cause extensive material damage.
- The Guardia Civil has taken over the active investigation to confirm the exact cause and circumstances, and municipal authorities are awaiting forensic and insurance assessments.
- Owner Douglas Augusto said he hopes to reopen this summer, but the loss comes at the start of the high season and will have immediate economic impact for the business and local beach trade.
