60 Canarian beaches will display the blue flag this summer. The blue flag is an internationally recognized quality seal that rewards, upon subscription to an audit, compliance with information and environmental management standards, legality, accessibility and safety. The Environmental and Consumer Education Association (Adeac) is responsible for granting blue flags in Spain. Tenerife has three Natural Pools such as El Caletón as beaches. There they call anything a beach. If the south of Gran Canaria used the same calculation, up to 90 new blue flags would be generated immediately. But it is not serious to intoxicate tourists to maintain quality, according to the unanimous thesis of the business and institutional sector.
In San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas, Meloneras, San Agustín and the port of Pasito Blanco have blue flags, although the Las Palmas media does not say this out of ignorance. But the most curious thing is that Tenerife has captured 16 while Las Palmas has chosen not to pay the fee to have it on the little beach of Las Canteras (it is true that it has environmental problems). With all of them, Fuerteventura, which is equivalent to hundreds of beaches in Tenerife due to its extension, has achieved 11 in Corralejo Viejo, Grandes Playas, La Concha, Butihondo, Costa Calma, El Matorral, Morro Jable, Blanca, Los Pozos, Puerto Lajas and Gran Tarajal.
Gran Canaria repeats with 14 that, if Las Canteras or Alcaravaneras is added, it would be above Tenerife, along with La Laja. There are no blue flags in Mogán either. Even Las Torviscas in Tenerife has a blue flag as is the case with the beaches of El Duque, Fañabé, El Camisón, Las Vistas, Los Cristianos, El Muelle, Piscinas Naturales de El Caletón, Playa de la Jaquita, Playa San Juan, San Marcos, Socorro , Bajamar Natural Pools, Sandstone Natural Pool, Jóver Natural Pool and La Arena (Mesa del Mar).
