Blue flags for beaches on the Orihuela Costa

The beaches of Orihuela continue to receive top honours for quality by the Foundation for Environmental Education.

Councillor Sofia Alvarez, announced that eight beaches in Orihuela have kept their awarded blue flags, “because of the excellent water quality and our environment, after passing safety tests, quality and environmental management," said Alvarez. Orihuela has an equal number to the Valencian capital. Punta Prima, Cala Estaca, Cala Bosque and Cala Capitan, La Caleta, Aquamarine, The Glea and Barranco Rubio, will this summer fly its corresponding flag, which certifies its good condition. In addition, the marinas of Cabo Roig and Campoamor also add this distinction for this upcoming season, the councillor adding "which positions Orihuela as one of the best tourist destinations for beaches". The blue flags are seen as an encouragement for the councils who continue to work for the excellence of our coast.
