Some beaches on Spain's Costa del Sol are set to reopen for the first time in six weeks - but only for parents with children.
Marbella and Mijas are among municipalities who have said parents and children can enjoy walks on the sand. Police tape had already been removed in areas like the popular getaway of Cala de Mijas on Saturday.
In other popular areas like Benidorm, the situation was still unclear with local police advising callers: “If the police tape has been removed tomorrow/on Sunday you can use the beach but if not you can’t.” Local authorities have pointed out that in any case the only people allowed onto the beach will be children under 15 with one of their parents or guardians who live no further than one kilometre away.
