In the theater of Gáldar, at noon on Tuesday, June 10, the authorities and representatives of the municipalities and ports of the Canary Islands received the blue flags that the Association of Environmental Education and Consumer (Adeac) delivered this year.
The City Council of Puerto del Rosario was represented by Toñi Fdez Aragón, councilor of Beaches, who received from the hands of the president of Adeac, the three flags that will fly in Playa Blanca, Los Pozos and Puerto Lajas.
The mayor of Puerto del Rosario, David de Vera, stressed that “our beaches are one of our main attractions, for residents and visitors, and these blue flags corroborate that the improvements we are implementing are going in the right direction”.
The Councilwoman of Beaches, Toñi Fdez Aragón, showed his satisfaction because “maintaining this award is not an easy task, as each year they are stricter with the quality criteria required. Thanks to the good weather we enjoy, these beaches receive users all year round, so we ask everyone to respect and care for the coastline to keep it in the best possible condition.
