Costa Del Sol Beach Turns Brown After Massive Pipe Burst

A large water pipe burst in Benalmádena, a popular Costa Del Sol resort in Spain, on Monday, sending torrents of water and mud onto a nearby beach. The incident, captured on video by a tourist, caused the usually clear blue sea to turn a stomach-churning brown. "It was terrifying," said one eyewitness, who described the scene as "a huge wave of muddy water." Authorities initially issued a yellow flag warning, advising people to stay out of the water. However, after tests, officials confirmed the water was clean and safe, attributing the discoloration to mud and sediment stirred up by the high-pressure burst. A green flag was later hoisted, signaling the beach was open again. The incident, while alarming, serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining infrastructure in popular tourist destinations.
