Around 300 people requested the public use of the Cape San Antonio lighthouse, in a demonstration that took place outside the facility. They reached there after traveling the 500-meter path between the recreational area of Les Planes and the lighthouse.

To the tune of popular songs that members of the colla "Xirimitab's"They were playing and with a banner with the motto" Per un far de tots i per a tots "that led the demonstration were walking until they reached the same doors of the lighthouse.

The promoters of this industrial action facebook group "that does not stop the light of the Xábia lighthouse"Thanked everyone for showing their support for this initiative. One of the organizers, José Miguel Marti took the floor and said, "According to the latest news seems that this lighthouse is not going to privatize and hopefully this facility becomes the interpretive center and we can all see, thank you for being with us in this fight. "

He later moved on to the reading of a manifesto that generally came to mean that the environment where is the lighthouse is magical and it's a corner visiting for everyone, but above all all, is public, so are opposed to privatization.

"The lighthouse building is not a dead place, it has life, it is not abandoned or empty. It is a place full of memories that is part of our lives and that is why we have to defend its public utility"Said one the promoters of the event. He also said, "this lighthouse has no master, can not be of any person, it is a beacon that is all. Privatize it is against the law specifically against five laws we all have to respect".

The laws that prohibit its privatization are; The Law of Heritage, Urbanism and Landscape of the Valencian Community, the General Plan of Urban Planning of Jávea, the General Plan of Natural Resources, the General Plan of Uses of the Natural Park Montgó and the State Ports Law,

They insisted that privatizing the lighthouse is "go over the will of a people". They called for the creation of an Interpretation Center Montgó Natural Park and Marine Reserve, instead of a hotel or abandonment of the facility.

Some politicians in Jávea joined this vindictive act as Jose Chulvi, acting mayor or Compromís militants, Vicente Colomer and Vicent Chorro group.
