The same goes for two other beaches on the popular holiday island. Only 20 of the coveted flags will be seen in Mallorca this year.
For example, Cala Grand in the municipality of Santanyí lost the flag because water tests had only returned a quality of “good”. For the “blue flag”, however, the evaluation as “excellent” is necessary. In addition to the water quality, other factors such as lifeguard supervision or services such as beach chairs, showers and food stands and the general condition are also taken into account. The “dream beach” Es Trenc, which is particularly popular with German holidaymakers, therefore no longer has a flag.
City of Palma did not pay for award
However, the withdrawal of the flag does not necessarily mean that the quality of the affected beaches has deteriorated. The award must be applied for at the environmental organization ADEAC. The city of Palma waived this for two of its beaches, including the one at Ballermann. Nevertheless, the Playa de Palma hoteliers’ association criticizes the decision not to apply for the flag. “We’re giving a miserable picture right now. What kind of message are you sending to holidaymakers?” Says a press release.
