Five Spanish beaches closed to swimmers after 'faecal' bacteria found

Five popular beaches near the southern Spanish city of Cádiz have been temporarily closed to swimmers due to high levels of faecal bacteria detected in the water. The closures follow tests showing elevated levels of E. coli and intestinal enterococci, which pose a potential health risk to bathers. Local authorities suspect recent heavy rainfall caused sewage overflows, contributing to the contamination. The affected beaches include Aculadero-Puerto Sherry, Fuentebravía, Micaela, La Cachucha, and Punta Candor. Further testing has been conducted, and ongoing monitoring of water quality is expected.
