Yet more rubbish on the
beach after San Juan
The Festival of San Juan
passed in Xàbia without any
reported adverse incidents,
but in Valencia the cleaning
operation collected 89%
more waste than the
previous year, going from
18 to 34 tons of garbage.
According to Pilar Soriano
the Councillor for Beaches
and Cleaning, they collected
32,000 kilos of waste from
northern beaches compared
to a little under 16,000 in
2016, and on the beaches
3,000 kilos compared to
2,300 last year from the
southern beaches.
The Red Cross dealt with
four people for alcohol
poisoning, and one for
burns.
