The yellow flag for the presence of jellyfish is flying in some beaches of Barcelona. There is an alert for the high presence of these marine animals especially on two beaches of the Catalan capital.
Particularly in one that is very frequented by bathers in the middle of the summer season.
These are the stretches of the beaches of Mar Bella and Banys del Fòrum, where the consistory avoided the presence of jellyfish.
They have also been detected on the beaches of Bogatell and Sant Sebastià, although to a lesser extent.
It is important to keep in mind that the Mar Bella is the most frequented beach in the city, so many bathers may be stung.
Yellow flag for the presence of jellyfish
This flag begins to fly when the presence of jellyfish is detected on the beaches or due to the “regular” state of the sea. Although the water quality is currently good.
In addition to Barceloneta, higher occupancy was also recorded on the beaches of the Llevant dog area, as well as in Sant Miquel, Nova Mar Bella and Banys del Fòrum.
As we reached the end of the canicular period (the hottest of the year), temperatures dropped after weeks of heat. However, there are still many bathers on the beaches because it is normal to want to take a good dip on the beach.
August is not over yet.
The recommendation is to take the necessary measures to avoid stings and to be very attentive in the indicated areas.
