Beaches in Malaga will use germ-killing ultraviolet light to keep sunbathers safe from the threat of coronavirus. The resort will become one of the first holiday destinations in Spain to use a pioneering high-tech disinfection system in toilets.
They are being installed in 28 toilets on the resort's most popular beaches and will automatically flush and disinfect the loos.
A light will go on every time someone leaves and the next person will have to wait 15 minutes before they can use the toilets but the authority says the system will kill 99 per cent of germs.
The new automatic disinfection system will mean beach users will not have to touch the flushes in the toilets and can turn the water on by using foot pedals rather than the taps.
