Locations, and beaches, which have won for several consecutive years

How many times have you heard slogans like: "It's been a Blue Flag beach town for so many years!", So many, no? But how many times have you heard: Is it a seaside resort since TOT consecutive years? Very few. This is because it can happen, it happened again this year, that maybe some seaside resort does not respect some of the 32 fundamental requisites for the assignment of the Blue Flags by the FEE ( Foundation for Environmental Education ) and consequently lose it. We reveal a secret to you: many seaside resorts that have massacred Blue Flags often have not won them year after year. Since 1987 the prize has been established: maybe sometimes they have not paid attention to the cleaning of beaches and sea, they have not been noticed to the accessibility or the proper maintenance to the services of water purification had not been done, all factors that risk of losing the Blue Flag. Trovaspiagge.it editors wanted to do a targeted research: to find the seaside resorts, and the related Italian beaches, which have conquered the highest number of Blue Flags for consecutive years . To these places a particular applause goes because to maintain high the banner of the FEE (to discover the winners of this year we recommend the reading of our article: Italian beaches: Blue Flag 2018 ) for so many consecutive years is both a statistical record and a demonstration of competence, efficiency and organization to be taken as an example. We have compiled a list of the ten Italian seaside resorts that have won the Blue Flags for several consecutive years. The information for the writing of this article has been found on the net thanks to Mr Google, so let's bear witness to the results of the local and national newspapers that reported these data. Pay attention: some of these seaside resorts have also won a higher number of blue flags but we have only taken into consideration the consecutive ones!

As you all know: on the site trovaspiagge.it you can leave reviews about Italian beaches to tell about your travel experience or simply to alert other visitors about the actual state of the beach in question. It makes us smile, of a bitter smile, that the city of Grado is one of the worst of those reviewed on our portal (on the date of writing this article, June 2018, it has the average of 1 star), yet it is the one that receives from most number of consecutive years the Blue Flag of the FEE . Ironic, can't you find? Perhaps the FEE should be advised to add as a parameter also the approval of the public in the famous 32 requisites for the assignment. Controversy aside: Grado is a seaside resort, and a beach, suitable for families with children thanks to its shallow waters (in fact it has also received the Green Flag by the Italian Paediatricians Association assigned to child-friendly beaches); it also offers numerous entertainments and entertainment for tourists of all ages and backgrounds and is totally accessible to people with physical disabilities. Icing on the cake: it also has a dog beach proving dog-friendly (Lido di Fido).
