Despite the debacle surrounding the lack of any Chiringuito bars on the Orihuela Costa until August last year, the Councillor for the Coast, Luisa Boné, was in Madrid last week to accept the Q for Quality awards for five Costa beaches.

The five beaches that received the Q quality mark in recognition of their quality standard in tourism for the year 2018, for the facilities, the excellent improvement and their maintenance were: Playa de Punta Prima, Playa de Cala Estaca, Playa de Cala Capitán, Playa de la Glea and Playa de Mil Palmeras

The awards were presented to the Councillor at the 10th gala night Q 2019 took place at the Palacio Cibeles in Madrid.

Luisa Boné said that “Orihuela is a role model at national level in terms of the quality of service provision on beaches. I am pleased that our community has been honoured with this quality award for the efforts that have been made over the course of the year. We are fortunate to work with a team dedicated to continuous improvement in Orihuela Costa.”

Selective memory or what?
