Swimming is prohibited after faecal matter was detected at the beach
UK holidaymakers have been warned to take care at a resort in Tenerife after two warnings were issued for the same coastal area this week. Local authorities have issued a temporary ban on swimming at the central beach of El Médano in the south-east of the island after faecal matter was detected on Tuesday, October 15.
It stated that samples are collected every Monday and Thursday, and then processed at a laboratory every Tuesday and Friday. In a post on Facebook the council added: “As soon as the results confirm that the waters are fit for the bathing, it will be reopening.”The ban follows an earlier warning issued by the council after a venomous sea slug spotted at the main beach of El Médano and Leocadio Machado over the weekend.
