Spain's dirty bathing water

A report from the European Environment Agency has named Spain as the third European country with the worst quality water in bathing areas. Only Holland and Latvia are worst for bathing water quality. Cleanest waters can be found in Cyprus, Croatia, Malta and Greece. With 2,152 classified bathing areas, Spain is the fourth county in Europe with most places to bathe, behind Italy 5,549, France 3,333, Germany 2,310, and Greece 2,155. Despite the result the report shows that the water in 80% of the bathing areas is an ‘excellent’ quality.
