After the analysis of a water sample taken on Monday which showed a high contamination with faecal bacteria, yesterday the Candelaria Council closed the section of the Playa de Punta Larga beach to the left of the Red Cross stand. Nearby is Las Caletillas beach. Those who now have the idea to go to the municipal swimming pool instead, will also come across some closed doors there, because faeces were found in the main pool. Swimming courses and other activities have also been cancelled.
