Two Marbella beaches where bathers were advised to stay out of the water last week as a precaution have now been declared safe again after fresh tests confirmed the water quality has returned to normal.
New analyses carried out by the Andalucian Health Department found that microbiological levels have returned to acceptable standards, prompting authorities to lift the temporary recommendation against swimming.
In a statement issued on Monday, Marbella Town Hall stressed that at no point were sewage discharges or E. coli bacteria detected, insisting the measure was taken solely as a precaution in line with established public health protocols.
The advisory affected a limited section of the coastline around El Cable, Rio Real and Los Monteros.
The council said the beaches remained open throughout, with no swimming ban or closures ever imposed. Instead, health authorities issued a temporary recommendation advising people to avoid entering the water while additional tests were carried out.
Marbella Town Hall also urged the public not to spread unverified information that could cause unnecessary alarm, adding that routine water quality monitoring will continue throughout the summer to ensure the beaches remain safe for residents and tourists.
