#SPAIN has once again topped the list of countries with the most Blue Flag beaches in the world for the 29th consecutive year. The country now has 686 Blue Flag beaches and marina resorts.
Holidaymakers heading for the north to Galicia, which has the highest number of Blue Flags (141), can expect to see spectacular landscapes and cliffs in destinations such as Ribadeo and Vigo.
This year, the Ullibarri-Gamboa reservoir in Alava – Basque Country – is the first inland beach to be awarded a Blue Flag, while Arona in Tenerife and Chilches in Castellon have been given Blue Flags in recognition of their accessible beaches for people with reduced mobility.
Jannich Petersen, CEO of villa and apartment rental company Spain-Holiday.com commented on the news: ‘It is good news for Spain as the country enters the peak holiday season. Spain as a tourist destination is more popular than ever, as we’ve seen an increase in enquiries in 2016 of 26% on the previous year.’
