THE BLUE FLAG: A POLITICAL PRIZE?

When a beach is clean and water has good quality for bathing every year, to get a blue flag is a challenge for the local administration. Many beaches manage to get the blue flags in Spain by FEEE as European political institute.

Some people think the blue flag ia something good for local tourism. In my opinion, it is political award because there some creeks which better conditions than influential beach crowded with foreigner visitors. For example, The Postiguet Beach provides dirty sand since the beach has activity all day long. It is crowded every morning and afternoon. In the evening, some young people use it for sport activities and runners do jogging there too.

Some small creeks, for example in San Juan, have crystal clear water, there aren`t any rocks or sea wracks.

For me, the blue flag is a political award because the town halls earn much money when, in fact, the beaches haven`t the necessary conditions.
