Brits on their way to Malaga in sunny Spain will be able to visit Sacaba beach again.
On Tuesday, August 30, Sacaba beach closed to the public, between the breakwater of La Termica and the mouth of the river Guadalhorce.
Sacaba Beach is located in the western part of the city of Malaga.
The reason for this was that high levels of faeces were found in a water sample.
The beach has now received permission from Malaga City Council to reopen after new water samples have been taken.

The Juntas Ministry of Health took the samples and deemed the beach suitable for reopening.
But this wasn’t the first time this event had happened this summer, closing the beach.
This summer alone, the beach was closed twice more due to this type of pollution.
The previous two times were the result of a sewage leakage due to pipe damage by a construction company, Construcciones Verosa.
NOT MISSING…
The first spill reportedly closed the beach for six days, and the second for several more days.
But this wasn’t the first time this event had happened this summer, closing the beach.
The municipal water company Emasa assured visitors to the beach that the supply and drainage network had been checked.
As a result, no defect or breakage was found that could have caused a leak.

Another cause of feces ending up in the sea is that rain can wash away pet waste into water. Industrial scale run-off from livestock farms can do the same.
Floods and extreme weather can also facilitate the movement of faeces to the sea.
It is 750 meters long, 60 meters wide and a relatively quiet beach.
As it stands, Malaga locals and visitors can now enjoy the beach and safe swimming.
