Re:
I was there in October and wondered if it had been one of those "convenient" fires that happen when people want to develop but don't have the right permissions ... there were two guys burning what looked like perfectly good olive trees in the field next to the hotel, towards the beach. The trees were young-ish but well-grown. They had all been cut down and didn't look burnt at all. Some goats were trying to eat the leaves before branches went on the bonfire. Seemed a waste of good wood/leaves/olives.

yes the fire got right into the old hotel and wrecked it even more, but it didn't get much further inland than that, i don't know how those palm trees survived
