The Torrevieja City Council has temporarily suspended bathing at Cala Piteras following a water quality alert. This decision was made on Wednesday morning after receiving notification from the Valencian Government’s Directorate-General for Environmental Quality and Education. Local Police officers promptly closed the bathing area, and lifeguards raised a red flag to alert beachgoers of the precautionary measure.
The council explained that the closure is a standard precautionary action to ensure public safety and maintain the quality of bathing waters. They emphasized that the problem is isolated to the sampling point at Cala Piteras and that monitoring is ongoing. Additional water samples are being analyzed to ascertain if conditions have improved.
Cala Piteras will reopen once new test results indicate the water meets safe bathing standards, and the public will be promptly notified. The council aims to reassure the community that the temporary suspension is a swift, coordinated response with regional authorities.
