Torrevieja’s Cala Piteras, situated on the southern coast of the city, has reopened for swimming following favorable water quality tests. The cove was closed less than 24 hours ago due to sewage contamination. Municipal departments confirmed that the latest laboratory results indicate the water meets all legal standards for recreational use.
The shutdown was initiated under the city’s Beach Management System protocol, coordinated by local environmental authorities, lifeguard services, water utility Agamed, and the Generalitat Valenciana to protect public health. Access to the cove was restricted with fencing and red flags, but lifeguards resumed normal swimming activities.
The City Council thanked residents for their compliance and expressed regret for the temporary inconvenience.
