Benidorm receives the three blue flags that prove the excellence of its beaches

The Councilor for Beaches, Lorenzo Martínez, has received this morning the blue flags awarded by the European Foundation for Environmental Education to the beaches of Levante, Mal Pas and Poniente in an event held at the Nautical Club of Altea attended by representatives of all the award-winning municipalities. The Comunitat Valenciana will wear blue flags on 129 beaches and 15 ports during 2017, four more than last year, which places our autonomy in first place in the Spanish ranking, which will receive 684 ensigns.

The Councilor for Beaches, Lorenzo Martínez, stated that this award reflects "the commitment of Benidorm with its beaches, where we will continue to mobilize all the human and material resources that are within our reach to continue pampering our beaches, our main tourist asset" .

The awarding of this award and the insignia it entails, not only endorse the quality of the waters on the award-winning beaches, but also are awarded based on services and facilities, the information it offers, safety and life-saving services and the cleanliness and environmental management that is carried out in them.
