MALLORCA TODAY - Manacor loses all its blue flags

While Pollensa has attracted most of the publicity regarding the loss of blue flags for its beaches, spare a thought for Manacor. In 2009, the town had a total of ten blue flags (way more than Pollensa has ever had or could have), but now it hasn't got any.

There has been a case of low water quality and other cases of a lack of services, but there is also the fact that demands made on some really quite small beaches are considered to be ridiculous by the town hall.

And one has to agree. The whole blue flag system has got completely out of hand. People should ignore it and maybe it might go away and take its self-important bureaucratic insistence with it.
