Levante beach loses blue flag
Josefa Perez, the lady in charge of Benidorm’s beaches, is devastated to learn that one of the most acclaimed beaches in Spain, Playa Levante, has had it’s blue flag withdrawn after results of water and sand quality tests came back with poorer results. Both Levante beach in Benidorm and Playa Postiguet in Alicante have lost their blue flags, despite Levante considered to having some of the best sand in the world.
Perez claims the tests are unfair because Benidorm and Barcelona are the only cities in Spain that do weekly checks on the sand and water. She also claims the tests that led to the withdrawal of the blue flag were done last year and affected by an anomaly caused by heavy rainfall.
