“Spain can offer holidaymakers the cleanest and safest beaches in Europe, according to the latest Blue Flag awards”.
The European Foundation for Environmental Education has awarded Spain with 571 distinctive blue flags, 44 more than last year.
The Blue flag award is the most recognised programme rating beaches and marinas throughout the world. It is owned and run by the independent non-profit organisation Foundation for Environmental Education and oversees water quality, environmental education and information, environmental management, and safety among other services.
The fact that Spain has been awarded with 571 blue flags this year is critical to the ongoing success of beach holidays in Spain. Andalucia has gained this year 24 more and the Canary Islands 8 more.
Galicia is the area with most flags (124), followed by Catalunya (108) and Valencia (101).
At this time of the year, good beaches are one of the main criteria for holidaymakers especially with Spain having more than 4,000 Kms of coastline packed with gorgeous Spanish beaches to choose from. This helps to make Spain one of the most visited and popular holiday countries for Europeans. With a wide selection of beach apartments in Spain and holiday resorts at the beach, Spain is right now the perfect location for your holiday.
