🌴 Alert for British Holidaymakers in the Canary Islands! 🚨
If La Graciosa is on your travel list, heads up! This stunning island, just a stone’s throw from Lanzarote, has issued a rare “black alert” and it’s getting folks talking. The picturesque beaches of Playa de Caleta de Sebo and Playa de la Francesa have landed spots on the Black Flag list—thanks to a mix of environmental mismanagement and unwelcome guest behaviour.
Concerned ecologists are pointing fingers at litter from vessels and beach parties, saying they’re leaving a mess behind. Catamarans are arriving, turning the beach scene into a lively yet problematic fiesta, throwing chicken to seagulls and rice into the sea. It sounds like great fun, but it’s causing quite a stir with environmentalists. 🌊🌿
La Graciosa isn’t the only spot under scrutiny. Recently, a visitor found themselves potentially facing a hefty €200,000 fine for breaking a drone rule. Who knew drones could cause such a financial whirlwind? 🤯
Plus, with 12 Spanish airports facing strikes, it’s a good time to double-check your travel insurance and keep those plans flexible.
Despite all this, Lanzarote remains a dreamy escape. Even after its own flag woes last year, Playa Blanca still flies a Blue Flag high, showing the island’s commitment to that unbeatable beach experience. 🌟
So, before packing your sun cream and sunglasses, make sure you’re in the know about these travel tidbits. Safe travels and enjoy all the island vibes! ✈️🌞🌊
