The state of the sea has forced the raising of red and yellow flags on several of Lanzarote's beaches, as reported by the Security and Emergency Consortium.
Specifically, swimming has been prohibited at Playa Bastián, Playa de Los Pocillos, Playa de Matagorda and Playa de La Garita due to adverse sea conditions.
In addition to this, the yellow flag has been placed on Playa Chica and Playa Grande (Puerto del Carmen), according to the Emergency Consortium, so visitors are asked to exercise caution.
