In particular it is the San Ginés (The Azohía); Cala Cortina, Playa de Levante (Cabo de Palos), Cala del Pino, Galúa, Cavanna and La Gola (La Manga), Playa Honda, and Mar de Cristal and Islands Minors.
These flags will be hoisted soon on each of these points along the coast with blue flags awarded eight recently by another body, the Association of Environmental and Consumer Education at Cala del Pino, the beaches of Poniente and Levante Minor Islands , Mar de Cristal, Levante Beach in Cabo de Palos, Cala Cortina, San Gines in the Azohía and Paradise Beach.
The Q of Quality and blue flags are two distinctly different.
The Q of Quality is primarily focused on the quality of tourist services offered in public or private beach.
The Q of Tourist Quality Standards include two types of requirements, some related to the outcome (benefit) of the various services and related systems and methods (processes) necessary to ensure the level of quality of services.
The Blue Flag is also an annual award to a system of environmental quality certification developed by the FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) since 1987.
The criteria for the Blue Flag are grouped into four areas: Quality of bathing water, environmental education and information, environmental management and safety, and facilities.
