Leocadio Machado Beach Reopens in Tenerife After Water Quality Improves
Leocadio Machado beach in Granadilla de Abona has reopened for swimming after water quality tests confirmed that bacterial levels have returned to safe limits.
Leocadio Machado beach in Granadilla de Abona has reopened, returning to normal after being closed for 48 hours. The Tenerife City Council confirmed that the beach is safe for swimming again, as recent water quality tests show that bacteria levels have returned to within the required health and safety limits.
The beach was closed on Tuesday as a precaution after routine checks detected high levels of Escherichia coli. This is a standard safety procedure along the Spanish coast to protect the public. Local officials noted that the issue was isolated to this specific area and did not affect any other beaches in the municipality.
The closure was lifted this Thursday once the council received official confirmation that the water quality met all safety standards. With these results verified, the temporary swimming ban has been removed.
