The Puerto del Rosario City Council has collected the three Blue Flags that will fly again this summer in Playa Blanca, Los Pozos and Puerto Lajas, revalidating the municipality’s commitment to the quality of its coastal spaces, sustainability and the continuous improvement of the services provided to citizens. The Councilor for Beaches, Toñi Fdez. Aragón, attended the official ceremony for the delivery of the Blue Flags of the Canary Islands 2026, where she received the distinctions awarded by the Environmental and Consumer Education Association (ADEAC), an entity that evaluates such relevant aspects as water quality, environmental management, safety, accessibility and the services available in bathing areas. With this new renovation, Puerto del Rosario maintains international recognition in its three main beaches. Playa Blanca has maintained the Blue Flag uninterruptedly since 2010, while Puerto Lajas and Los Pozos continue to consolidate themselves as benchmarks on the capital’s coastline thanks to the permanent work of maintenance, conservation and improvement of their infrastructure. The mayor of Puerto del Rosario, David de Vera, highlighted that “collecting these three Blue Flags is a reflection of the work that is carried out throughout the year so that our beaches continue to be safe, accessible and quality spaces.” For her part, the Councilor for Beaches, Toñi Fdez. Aragón, pointed out that “these flags represent much more than a badge. They are proof that we are doing things well and that we continue to improve our beaches so that they can be enjoyed by all people on equal terms. Accessibility, safety and the quality of services will continue to be priorities for this City Council.” During recent months, the City Council has promoted various actions aimed at improving accessibility and the user experience on the municipality’s beaches, including improving access for people with reduced mobility, new adapted signage and resources aimed at facilitating autonomy and safe enjoyment of the coastline by all citizens. The renewal of the Blue Flags consolidates Puerto del Rosario as a benchmark in the sustainable management of its beaches and recognizes the joint efforts of municipal services, maintenance, surveillance and rescue teams, as well as the commitment of residents and visitors to the conservation of the coastal environment.
