The Blue Flag at Can Pere Antoni beach in Palma has been temporarily removed. Adeac, the environmental and consumer education association which is in charge of the Blue Flags in Spain, withdrew the flag after there were complaints about fragments of partially burned plastic. These are apparently related to development work at the port.

This beach should never have been awarded a blue flag in the first place because it is a garbage pit. I cycle by it every morning around 7.45am and it is covered with drunks passed out and the 'employees' who clearly are paid a pittance because they have to sleep on the beach. A total disgrace!
Unfortunately ALL the Seas in the world have minute particles of plastic in them. More worrying is that these particles of plastic are in the fish that we eat.
