For the first time, Fuengirola’s beaches have been awarded Q
for Quality flags by the ICTE Spanish Touristic Quality Institute.
The flags were raised on Friday 8, in a special ceremony on
San Francisco beach, attended by the Mayor Ana Mula Athas.
Well-known swimmer David Mecca and local swimmers Pablo
Mira, Maria de Valdes and Salvador Cano will be diving from a yacht 200 metres
out to sea and swimming to shore with the flags, which have been awarded for
the 7.5 kilometres of beaches between the Castle and Carvajal.
Colour was provided at the event by 200 local school children
wearing special t-shirts and carrying banners, who were brought to the beach on
the tourist train.
The mayor explained that this was the first time the town
had applied for the prestigious flags and expressed her pride that the strict
tests had been passed.
“I’d like to stress the hard work put in on a daily basis by
municipal workers and the collaboration provided by the beach bars to allow us
to be awarded the flags,” Mula said.
“Receiving these flags is just another reason to keep on
working to improve our services. We’ve made a leap forwards and are now
encouraged to create more new projects. I invite everyone to come and celebrate
with us on San Francisco beach,” the mayor concluded.
