Mijas celebrates the addition of Calahonda-Riviera beach to the municipality's list of Blue Flags

Mijas has obtained a new Blue Flag, this time recognizing the quality of the Calahonda-Riviera beach. This new distinction adds to those the municipality already held, bringing the total to five beaches that will fly this flag this summer. Specifically, along with the aforementioned, there will be Calahonda-Royal Beach-La Luna, El Chaparral, El Bombo, and La Cala.

These distinctions are awarded annually by the Association of Environmental and Consumer Education (ADEAC). To achieve them, a thorough evaluation is carried out on various parameters such as water quality, environmental management, safety, information, and accessibility.

The mayor of Mijas, Ana Mata, thanked the efforts of the people working on the beaches to maintain their excellence, "as they are one of the main attractions from a tourist, leisure, and environmental perspective of the municipality."

"Having a new Blue Flag is a source of pride and drives us to continue working so that the Mijas coast can be an example throughout the Spanish coast. Moreover, it is a very rewarding endorsement for all the workers who perform their tasks every day with perseverance, effort, and affection," she stated.
