First jellyfish of the summer arrive in Javea


From typicallyspanish.com

It's feared that record numbers will arrive on the coasts of Spain this summer

The first jellyfish of the summer have been detected in Javea.

Red cross lifesavers yesterday attended to 62 bathers who had been stung on the Arenal beach, and decided finally to fly the red flag at 4,30pm.

The lifesavers then went out on a boat and managed to catch many more of the jellyfish.

Last year the jellyfish did not arrive until the start of the month of August and there are fears and forecasts that their numbers will be far higher this summer.
