Es Codolar Beach Faces Temporary Closure Over Water Quality Concerns

British tourists with dreams of dipping sun-kissed toes into the waters of Es Codolar this weekend will need to pivot their plans. The local council of Sant Josep has implemented a temporary bathing ban on part of this picturesque spot after tests revealed elevated levels of E. Coli and enterococci. While these bacteria naturally occur in both human and animal intestines, their current presence in the water exceeds recommended limits, prompting precautions to ensure visitor safety. This closure specifically affects the area in front of the stream. Authorities have assured the public this is a preventive measure, and water quality will be reassessed on Monday to decide future steps.
