  "summary": "The beaches of La Glea and Aguamarina in Orihuela Costa have reopened to swimmers after water quality tests confirmed that the seawater is safe for bathing. The beaches were initially closed due to unusually high levels of microbiological contamination, with one indicator being more than double the maximum permitted level. Orihuela Council's Coastal Department authorized the reopening after laboratory results showed that the water-quality indicators had returned to permitted levels. Both beaches were temporarily closed as a precaution to protect public health while further tests were conducted. The latest analysis has now confirmed that all monitored parameters are within the established safety limits, allowing bathing to resume at both La Glea and Aguamarina.",
