Overview

• Dosel in Cullera and Arenal-Bol in Calpe were declared safe for swimming after water samples met health standards.
• Local authorities had hoisted red flags and built sand dikes when initial tests on July 3–4 detected intestinal bacteria.
• Beaches in Daimús, Tavernes de la Valldigna and Xeraco also reopened once follow-up analyses showed optimal water quality.
• The Conselleria de Medio Ambiente conducts around 300 water quality tests each summer to protect public health across the Valencian coastline.
• Officials continue investigating contamination sources, considering fluvial runoff, wastewater discharges or temporary ecosystem changes.
