Every year countries across the world eagerly await the awarding of Blue Flags to their beaches and marinas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Blue Flag is an internationally recognised eco-label that identifies a beach as clean, safe and committed to sustainability, based on strict criteria addressing water quality, environmental education and information, environmental management, and safety and other services.<\/p>\n

This year, Spain has once more been awarded more Blue Flags than any other country in the world – 684 in total.<\/p>\n

Spain values its reputation as having the world’s best beaches and has topped the league table from the Foundation for Environmental Education (the body that awards the Blue Flags) since it was first launched in 1987.<\/p>\n

The Communidad Valencia received the most Blue Flags in Spain with 129, followed by Galicia with 133 and Cataluna with 95 – the same trend as in 2016.<\/p>\n

“It is wonderful to once again see the Comunidad Valencia receive the most awards in Spain with 129 Blue Flags. Alicante and its award-winning beaches is a hotspot for holiday makers and those looking to buy a holiday home in Spain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Punta Prima beach, just south of Alicante, with its fine sandy beaches and clean waters has for example been awarded a Blue Flag for 2017 and our stunning La Recoleta III and Panorama Mar developments have the ideal frontline location to enjoy its sea, sand and sunshine.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director, Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
