On July 2nd, Mijas received the 4 blue flags and the blue centre certificate, in an event held at the Andalusian Tourism headquarters in Malaga. The Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport of the Junta de Andalucía, Víctor Manuel González, and the territorial delegate, Gemma del Corral, were in charge of the presentation of these awards. 

The mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata, and the councillor for Beaches, Daniel Gómez Teruel, received the four blue flags that will soon be waving on the following beaches: Calahonda-Royal Beach-La Luna, El Bombo, El Chaparral and La Cala, after meeting all the demanding standards of the Association for Environmental and Consumer Education.

As the mayores, said, "these quality certificates are proof of the efforts made on a daily basis in the municipality".

These flags recognise the quality of the water, environmental management, safety, information and accessibility of the Mijas coastline.

The blue path has also been renewed, as well as the Blue Center certificate that was awarded to the Torreón in La Cala, this recognitions add up to the 9 flags Q for Quality that the Mijas coastline received last week and which make Mijas the second municipality in the province of Malaga with the highest number of this distinction.

As the councillor for beaches, Daniel Gómez Teruel, said, "this recognition highlights the most special thing we have, our coastline, in which we have 9 Q for quality, which certifies that we are complying with all the parameters, making our municipality and our coastline accessible to everyone".

In total, 50 blue flags will wave this summer along the Malaga coastline. As Victor Manuel Gonzalez explained, "in Malaga, 41 beaches, 6 harbours, 3 boats and a blue centre make up the total of these 50 blue flags". 

In this way, Andalusia is once again proud of its beaches, because our community is the second in Spain with more blue flags, 156, after Valencia, and the first with more Q for Quality in a country, that is also leader in blue flags with 638.
