Additional Information (if any):
While the tile mosaic (“Animales de granja”) might have resembled a commercial establishment or public artwork in the past, the location is currently a private single-family home. According to Wayfarer guidelines, any Wayspot located on private residential property must be removed to respect property owner privacy and prevent trespassing.
You can verify the residential nature and wall boundary of the property via Google Maps / Street View at the provided coordinates. I’ve also taken some geolocated photos, you can even see there is a
While the tile mosaic (“Animales de granja”) might have resembled a commercial establishment in the past, the location is currently a private single-family home. Furthermore, as seen in next geolocated photos or even in Street View, the property features a private security alarm system with video recording directly connected to police monitoring.
According to Wayfarer guidelines, any Wayspot located on single-family private residential property must be removed to respect owner privacy, avoid security issues, and prevent trespassing. You can verify the residential boundary and security signage at the provided coordinates. Thank you for reviewing this appeal.
This location has two separate entrances, it it possible that at least two separate parties live there?
It looks like it was a business a few years ago (2011 Street View photo) and was converted into a residence years ago. There are no Street View images between 2011 and 2023, so I couldn’t tell you the exact year
I understand that it was converted to residential property, but since it has two separate entrances, are you sure it’s single family residential property?
It’s just a private house with a security alarm installed. There’s zero commercial activity. Having two doors doesn’t make it a business, not even a POI lol
What is trying to be said here is that in regards to Wayfarer “Private Property” only relates to “Single Family Private Resident Property” (SFPRP).
Waypoints on “Multiple Family Residences” (Apartments etc) can be eligible on the communal parts of the building.
So if this was deemed a “Multi Family Residence” then requesting a removal for “Private Property” would be incorrect.
Whether the POI is ineligible for other reasons would then need to be determined.
That’s not really relevant. What is relevant is if it’s single-family private residential property or multi-family residential property
es propiedad privada unifamiliar
The door on the right is for house 27. The door on the left has no number above it. To the left is house 25; to the right is house 29.
If this was a multi-family residence with two separate doors, the door on the left would have a house number like 27a; it would be extremely unlikely not to be labelled.
If this was a multi-family residence with a single entrance door (the one labelled 27), you would have indications of this like multiple buzzers or letterboxes.
I’m happy with the evidence of this being SFPRP and don’t know what else could be provided. Waiting for Scopely Explore to provide the official decision 
Thanks for the appeal, @Miguering! We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
Thank you for taking the time to review this appeal. However, I kindly request a second review as there is official, definitive evidence regarding the property classification.
In Spain, the “Sede Electrónica del Catastro” is the public and official registry managed by the Spanish Ministry of Finance that details the legally registered status, structure, and usage of all real estate properties.
According to the official Cadastre record for this exact address (Ref: 4176014VF5647E0001TH):
The property is registered strictly as a single-family private residential property (Vivienda Unifamiliar / Uso Residencial).
It is a single, private residential dwelling, not a commercial store, public space, or multi-family apartment building.
You can verify this official document directly via the public government portal link below, and I have also attached a screenshot of the official Cadastre datasheet:
Official Cadastre Link: Catastro Record - Ref 4176014VF5647E0001TH
Per Wayfarer’s guidelines, any Wayspot located on Single-Family Private Residential Property must be removed. I hope this official documentation clarifies the situation and allows for the removal of this Wayspot.
Thank you for your time!
@cyndiepooh if this does happen to get removed, it will be interesting to see if Plaza de Capuchinos (36.746524,-3.515484) (approved August 2026) becomes the replacement gym. It has an excessive number of votes, with four photos having 5 votes each, clearly with the intention of it becoming the gym.
Where does this say single family? Doesn’t it list four different apartments?
It lists “Apartment 1” for four different floors. I would expect the apartments to have different titles if there was actually four different apartments.
Isn’t the “1” counting the number of staircases/escaleras?
Google English translation:
They are all labelled Apartment 1
This shows the floors in the building
I cannot believe an apartment could be 18 m2 in total, although 70 is plausible
If there were four apartments, there would have to be some indication of this on the entrance door
I think that’s two different columns that google translate is reading as one?
Ah, thank you.
That goes back to this being ambiguous and unhelpful, but I still struggle with the idea of an 18 m2 apartment and the lack of visual indication at ground level.
I have lived in an apartment that was less than 18m2 in size 
Actually more than once!
The house is also subdivided using roman numerals, and I have no idea why
Based on the official Spanish Catastro sheet provided, this building is a single-family home spanning four floors, rather than four separate apartments.
The “Parcela costruida sin división horizontal” is a developed plot without horizontal property division. In the link below, it explains the “units” cannot be sold or mortgaged separately.
If this building had four separate apartments owned individually on paper, the registry would show a horizontal division, and each apartment would posess its own distinct suffix. Instead, everything falls under a single master file.
Here’s the caveat: the building CAN be legally rented to multiple tenants without a horizontal division, but the owner is strictly limited on how they structure the rentals.
On paper, this is a single-family home. Not on paper, though…who knows.
Hope any of the above helps.
