Frequently asked questions

What is the water quality at Playa del Bollullo?

When was the latest official sample taken?

What were the latest E. coli and enterococci values?

In the official sample of 8 Sept 2026, E. coli measured 9 UFC/100 ml and intestinal enterococci 29 UFC/100 ml. These are values from that specific sample, not a measurement of today.

Are there registered discharges near Playa del Bollullo?

According to the official land-to-sea discharge census, the nearest registered point is 2.4 km from Playa del Bollullo. One registered point within 3 km is shown as contextual pressure and does not affect the historical profile. A registered discharge does not in itself imply a water-quality problem.

Have there been recent closures or incidents at Playa del Bollullo?

No published incidents, closures or official notices about Playa del Bollullo were found in the monitored sources.

Where does MiCharco's data come from?

From official sources: the Government of the Canary Islands bathing-water sampling, NÁYADE information where applicable, the official land-to-sea discharge census and communications from local administrations. Every record links to the original source.

Does MiCharco's data say whether I can swim today?

Not necessarily. An official sample may have been taken days or weeks earlier, and a good past sample does not guarantee today's conditions. For current restrictions, always check official notices and on-site signage.
