Glaswegians planning to travel to Spain over the holidays have been warned as 48 beaches have been struck by a 'black flag' for pollution and dog poo.
They were named by Spanish environmental campaign group, Ecologists in Action, which slammed authorities for not looking after the coastal areas. Other beaches listed in the report include those in Malaga as well as some in the Canary Islands, Catalonia, Balearic Islands and Basque Country. A number of the issues have been caused by over-development of land and poor management by authorities, according to the report, reports The Mirror.
Topping the list is Os Frades beach, a pristine spot nestled in the hills of the Baiona coastline. Oj Frades is a relatively small beach but is known for its crystal-clear waters and picturesque views.
