There’s good news and bad for the Costa del Sol in a survey carried out by Corona beer, as part of an initiative to protect Europe’s beaches. Results in the vote by foreign tourists put Málaga’s beaches as the third best kept in Spain, with 27% of the vote, after the Baleares and the Canary Islands. German and Italian tourists were the most impressed with the condition of Málaga’s beaches.

26% of Spanish tourists say, however, that they are the worst. 11% of Spaniards say they no longer visit the beaches of the Costa del Sol as they are ‘dirty and polluted’.

European voters put Spain’s beaches in second place in the continent as a whole, just one point behind France. 40% of them decided Spanish beaches are the best in Europe.

Of the beaches proposed by voters, the Coronita Save the Beach campaign will select 10, out of which they say they will ‘save’ the worst.
