What is a Blue Flag?

The blue flag is a distinctive sign that indicates that a beach has standards of quality, hygiene, health, safety, accessibility, information, rescue and first aid. These awards were promoted by the Consumer and Environmental Education Association and the World Trade Organization. This award was born in 1987. This year, Spain has 615 beaches awarded with these blue flags. In Andalucia we have a historical record of 137 blue flags on our coast, compared to two years ago we got 96. In Cádiz we have 35 blue flags spread throughout the Cadiz coast, only behind Malaga, which got six new additions.

La Caleta’s Beach

This beach surrounded by the castles of San Sebastian and Santa Catalina is a must if you come to Cádiz. In addition to having beautiful sunsets and being the photographic icon of many tourists, it is a very calm and quiet beach for families with children. We recommend walking along the promenade or ending up wetting your feet on the shore after having been visiting Cádiz city.
