Popular Águilas beaches to be cleared of sea grass just in time for summer
Permission has only recently been issued for Posidonia sea grass to be re moved from the beaches of Calabardina and La Cola
Just in time for the summer season, with the warm weather appearing to have installed itself in the Costa Cálida for the foreseeable future, the Town Hall of Águilas has announced that permission has at last been given for the Posidonia sea grass which has accumulated during the last few months on the beaches of Calabardina and La Cola to be removed, and work to do so will start immediately.
The local government says it has been waiting for more tan a month for the permission to be issued by the Natural Environment authorities of the regional government in Murcia, but it was not until Wednesday 20th May that the required permission was received. Mayor Cristóbal Casado reiterates that at all times his administration has acted within the law and in good faith, and that the commitment to clearing the beaches has not wavered.
As is so often the case, the problem has, he says, been one of paperwork and bureaucracy.

Águilas boasts 28 kilometres of coastline, with many fine, sandy beaches, sheltered coves and unspoilt natural beaches. It is a great summer favourite with Spanish holidaymakers, so always has a superb programme of concerts and activities throughout the summer, as well as the biggest carnival in the Region of Murcia, 40 days before Semana Santa (Easter.)
Throughout the year it also has a number of museums and historical attractions, a castle with fabulous views overlooking the bay and several other points of interest, all of which make it an good place to visit for days out. Throughout the year the tourist office runs monthly guided tours and the route of the railways, which explores the railway history of the town.
The tourist information office is located in the Plaza de Antonio Cortijos, just a short walk from the sea front and Plaza de España, a cool, shaded space in which to enjoy a coffee.
