Have there been recent closures or incidents at Playa Fañabé?

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.
