Today the blue flags that will fly on the beaches this summer have been announced. For yet another year, the Valencian Community is the leader in Spain and, by provinces, Alicante is in second place.
Specifically, the Marina Alta has once again revalidated its 17 Blue Flags, a recognition of the quality of our beaches.
The Blue Flag is a trademark owned by FEE which is a not-for-profit non-governmental organisation consisting of 65 organisations in 60 member countries.
FEE’s Blue Flag criteria include standards for quality, safety, environmental education and information, the provision of services and general environmental management criteria.
The Blue Flag is sought for beaches, marinas, and sustainable boating tourism operators as an indication of their high environmental and quality standards.
Certificates, which FEE refers to as awards, are issued on an annual basis to beaches and marinas of it’s member countries.Â
In the European Union, the water quality standards are incorporated in the ECÂ Water Framework Directive.
Take a look through the 17 Blu Flag beaches in the Marina Alta for 2021.Â
