Experts have issued a word of warning to Britons heading to Spain on their summer holidays, over almost 50 beaches which have been issued with a 'black flag' for pollution like chemical spills, dog poo, and invasive developments. The beaches have been outlined by Ecologists in Action, who in-turn slammed local authorities for not taking care of coastal areas.
Many of the beaches, which were detailed in a damning report, are popular with tourists - including A Calzoa in Vigo, which has been described as 'the worst dog beach in Spain' according to The Sun. Local media also say that it has become a 'sandbox for dogs' ruined with waste.
Other beaches included in the report feature across Malaga, the Canary Islands, Catalonia, Balearic Islands and the Basque. Twelve of which were due to chemical spills, faulty sanitation and purification problems, according to the group.
