One of Lanzarote's most popular beaches is among 48 given a black flag this year, with 'sewage discharges' listed as the primary reason for this designation
Lanzarote has issued a rare "black alert" for tourists and holidaymakers. The holiday hotspot has issued the rare warning for holidaymakers at one of the most popular beaches on the well-known Canary Island.
Ecologistas en Accion's annual report, which has been highlighting environmental mismanagement in Spain since 2005, lists Playa Blanca among the 48 beaches given a black flag this year. The report goes on and cites "sewage discharges" as the primary reason for this designation.
It also wants the beach to rectify inadequate sewage treatment, and insufficient oversight of wastewater systems, which are destroying the region's coastal areas. 48 beaches have been given black flags in this year's annual report, including those in destinations such as Malaga and Costa del Sol and some on the Spanish islands of Ibiza, Tenerife and Lanzarote.
Other reasons beaches have been named in the report are chemical pollution, noise pollution, industrial damage and marine waste. The ecologists also claimed that two hotels in Fuerteventura have been built in a protected area.
