The Cabàs path, which connects Bunyola and Santa Maria, is now officially public property along its entire length. This has been recognized by the Court of First Instance No. 23 of Palma, which dismissed the lawsuit filed by several properties near the path against the Santa Maria Town Council. The lawsuit alleged that the council had included the path in its inventory of publicly owned municipal assets in 2014, claiming that the path had been privately owned since time immemorial. Later, the Bunyola Town Council voluntarily joined the case in support of the path's public ownership. According to the plaintiffs, the Town Council had never carried out any maintenance work and there was no physical evidence of the path's public ownership. The ruling, which ARA Baleares has accessed, also points out that the Town Council had acknowledged the path's private nature by collecting taxes such as the IBI (Property Tax). The town councils of Bunyola and Santa Maria, for their part, argued that deeds and documents from the 19th and 20th centuries refer to the Alaró road, and that elderly residents of the municipalities recognize it as a public right-of-way.
