you complain like you are a fellow Spaniard, I feel like I am talking to my brother-in-law I don't even care about those topics. Catalans will be crying about everything forever, that is what they do, they complain. If you enjoy the sea views, there it is for you, that is something you will always get in the country, you are welcome to live there like one of us. No one will bother you. So there it is, too much bureaucracy but after all a good place to stay.
I get it, believe me. I've lived in so many countries, you adjust to local realities until you've had enough and move on.
