The beaches of La Glea and Aguamarina in Orihuela Costa reopened for swimming this Thursday, after the Department of the Coast confirmed that water quality has returned to the established limits.

The decision follows a review of the control microbiological parameters. In previous analyses, elevated levels had been detected, exceeding double the maximum permissible values for a contamination indicator, which led to the temporary closure to ensure public health.
Recent studies have confirmed that current levels are within regulatory limits, making it possible to reopen these two coastal areas for swimming.
The Department of the Coast has thanked citizens and visitors for their understanding and cooperation during the temporary closure period, a measure adopted based on recommendations from health and environmental authorities.
