Dog beach likely to attract tourists

FOLLOWING some adverse criticism and complaints, the deputy mayor of Torre del Mar and councillor for Tourism and Beaches, held a press conference to confirm authorisation and legality of the newly opened canine beach at Torre del Mar.

According to the officials, the beach was properly authorised by the Junta and complies with all requirements concerning health and environmental safety, with the beach being cleaned daily.

It was stated there was no adverse effect to either the banks of the Rio Velez or to any species that inhabits the surrounding wetlands, indeed it was suggested that this modern and large area which is well signposted is likely to attract tourists with dogs to visit the town throughout the year.
