Marbella was the location on Friday morning of a ceremony to hand over the 91 Blue Flags awarded to beaches in Andalucia for 2013. The event was attended by Mayors and Councillors from 31 municipalities in five provinces of Andalucia. Burriana and Torrecilla beaches in Nerja were once again awarded Blue Flag status.
