The decision by the La Aldea de San Nicolás council to discourage swimming at the coves located at the mouth of the ravine is based on a principle of responsibility for the safety and well-being of users. This preventive measure aims to protect the health of bathers.
“"The City Council's decision to advise against swimming at the beaches at the mouth of the La Aldea ravine is justified as an exercise in responsibility for the health of users of these coves."
The intense runoff generated in the riverbed by storm Therese at the end of last March caused a large amount of waste, including that from sanitation pipes damaged by the floods, to be carried into the sea. This situation has prompted caution from local authorities.
Consequently, the decision has been made to maintain caution and advise against swimming until water quality is guaranteed. The City Council seeks to ensure that water conditions are optimal for recreational use. Water samples were taken on Thursday, and the results will determine whether the restriction is maintained or lifted.
