Blue Flags boost Spanish Property Market
Spain’s property market has been boosted by the 500 plus Blue Flags awarded to its beaches and marinas.
To receive a Blue Flag, beaches and marinas must meet stringent criteria. Marinas must produce an environmental policy & plan, have recycling facilities, provide a map indicating all amenities and have lifesaving facilities. Beaches have ongoing evaluations to ensure they meet the criteria which includes safety provisions, the presence of a map indicating all facilities, toilet facilities, recyclable waste facilities and compliance with the required standard of water quality.
A total of 499 Spanish beaches have been judged by the Blue Flag International Jury to have met the criteria, along with 77 marinas.
In the Costa Calidá there are 21 Blue Flag Beaches and Marinas – details can be found here.
The 576 Blue Flag awarded are great news for the Spanish property market – and reflect the confidence felt in the market by holiday homeowners and buy-to-let investors alike.
