A popular holiday town in Spain has announced pools will open for tourists this summer despite an ongoing drought.
Estepona, on the Costa del Sol, will allow private and community pools to open this summer, the town's mayor has confirmed. "There's no justification whatsoever for some swimming pools to be open while others are not. In Estepona we are clear that all pools will be authorised to stay open", said José María García Urbano. It comes as a wider water crisis continues to affect the Spanish coast, including Andalusia, where Brits flock to in their millions every year.
