Garbage avalanche after flash flood: S'Arenal section closed — who pays the price?

Answer

Why was the beach in S'Arenal closed after the flash flood?

The beach section in S'Arenal was closed because heavy rain washed household waste, plastic and other debris from the Torrent Jueus into the sea. The municipality of Llucmajor said the hygiene conditions were not acceptable for swimmers, so the affected area had to be cordoned off. Reopening depends on water checks and the results of bath water testing.
