The Regional Minister for Public Health, Catalina García, announced that Playa de la Charca can be reopened to the public, following recent testing.

Minister Catalina García said that its seawater now “has optimum quality” for bathing and that this afternoon the cordoned off area be opened up.

The Board of Health had issue instructions last Friday for the said beach to be marked out and notices erected warning bathers no to bathe off Playa de La Charca as microscopic traces of human fecal matter were found in a previous sample taken for testing.

The Town Hall was instructed to carry this out, which they did immediately. The Mayor at the time reassured residents and visitors that Salobreña’s other beaches were not affected.
