With the arrival of Holy Week, Orihuela’s Beach Department has approved the employment of rescue and first aid services from Saturday, March 27, to Monday, April 5.
Councilor for Beaches, Luisa Boné, said, “The users of the beaches will be able to enjoy them with total safety with the rescue service at their disposal.”
The rescue and lifeguard teams are made up of 30 members, comprising emergency technicians, coordinators, skippers and lifeguards.
