The strong waves forced this Saturday to close the access to the pier of Playa Chica or Pila de la Barrilla in Puerto del Carmen. The volunteer firefighters of Tías (Boluntis) alerted by the Local Police were in charge of taking measures so that tourists or residents would not access the pier for risk of falling into the sea.
In addition, this Sunday the beaches of Matagorda, Playa Grande, Playa Chica and Los Pocillos have a red flag, as reported by the Emergency Consortium.
