Beaches Boost Spain’s Property Market. Thursday, July 05, 2007
Spain’s blue flag awarded beaches and marinas are keeping the country’s property market buoyant.
Spain’s beaches and marinas have received over 500 blue flag awards this year.
The Blue Flag is an eco-label awarded to over 3200 beaches and marinas in 37 countries across the world.
In order to achieve a Blue Flag, beaches and marinas must comply with a number of stringent criteria. Marinas must consider recyclable waste facilities, provide a map indicating all amenities and have lifesaving facilities. Beach candidates were subject to ongoing evaluation from control visits in 2006 and were evaluated to ensure the presence of a map indicating all facilities, presence of recyclable waste facilities at the beach and compliance with the water quality criterion.
A total of 499 Spanish beaches were judged by the Blue Flag International Jury to have met the criteria, along with 77 marinas. The majority of the awards went to Valencia, Catalonia and Galicia, with the less well known Galicia receiving 119 flags for its pristine beaches – more than any other region. Valencia has 95 blue flag beaches, and Catalonia, which comprises the Costa Brava ad Costa Dorada, has 89 exceptional beaches and 22 marinas. The 576 Blue Flag awards is keeping the Spanish property market buoyant despite recent stock market concerns, confirming the country’s popularity with holiday homeowners and buy-to-let investors alike.
