Tourists BANNED from swimming on Costa Blanca over swarms of killer ‘blue dragons' – that even prey on deadly Man O' War
TOURISTS have been banned from the waters of a long stretch of Spain's Costa Blanca due to an invasion of venomous and bizarre 'blue dragons'. Categorised as a sea slug, the deadly creatures are dubbed "the most beautiful killer in the ocean". 6 6 6 The mysterious and rarely spotted blue seabeast - also known as the blue angel with wings like a dragon - is just over an inch long. But it has a sting as powerful as the much larger Portuguese Man O' War – and preys on them too. The creatures absorb their prey's venom - concentrating it at the end of their finger-like extremities to ward off attackers. Although they look like mini Pokemon, the beasts even can turn cannibalistic - sometimes eating each other in captivity. To protect swimmers on this popular stretch of coastline in Spain, red flags have been put up and lifeguards are voicing warnings with loudhailers. Reg flags went up on beaches in Guardamar del Segura just north of Torrevieja following the appearance of the blue dragons. And tourists who defy the bathing ban order risk hefty fines. Guardamar del Segura's mayor Jose Luis Saez, confirmed the sea ban order yesterday on X. He indicated that it would remain in place until further notice: 'Red flag on the beaches of Guardamar. 'Bathing is prohibited following the appearance on Vivers Beach of two specimens of Glaucus atlanticus, known as the Blue Dragon.' Travellers are warned not to touch the blue dragon. Typical symptoms of the shiny blue dragon's sting include nausea, pain, vomiting and acute allergic contact dermatitis. He added: 'We remind people that despite its bright and striking colour and it's small 1.5 inch size, they should stay away from this animal because of its sting. 'Guardamar del Segura Town Hall has has launched a preventive operation to detect possible specimens carried by ocean currents. 'Town hall workers are closely following the evolution of the situation and will inform people about the different measures to be taken. 'If you see one of these creatures don't touch it, even with gloves on, alert lifeguards and other authorities. 'If you get stung, wash the area affected with salt water and head to your nearest first aid point or health centre. 'These creatures are poisonous and their stings can cause nausea, pain and vomiting. 'For the time being and until further notice, bathing in the sea is prohibited.' 6 Sunbathers will still be allowed to head to soak up some rays if they don't take a dip in the sea. Red flags went up at Santa Barbara beach in La Linea de la Concepcion near Gibraltar on Sunday. Police had received an emergency call about a blue dragon sighting and six were later found scattered across the shoreline. The beach was reopened to bathers the following day, with a yellow warning flag up instead of the red one. Blue dragons wash up across the world, from Spain to Australia. In Sydney in 2018, experts warned people not to touch the mini monsters after large numbers swarmed the coast. The Playa del Cura in Gran Canaria was carpeted by tens of thousands of the squidgy By-wind-sailor jellyfish.

How these popular holiday destinations could be harmful to your eyesight, according to experts
With the summer holidays slowly drawing to a close, many holidaymakers are jetting off to Spain, Greece and other European hotspots for a final dose of sweltering heat and sunny spells. However, sun-worshippers are being warned of serious eye issues caused by prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays and air pollutants in popular holiday destinations across the continent. Without proper precautions, it's estimated over half of British tourists that head abroad each summer are at risk of developing cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and even certain types of cancers in the eye. Experts at contact lens retailer, Feel Good Contacts, have used a combination of UV ratings and the IQ Air Index to determine five standout destinations with high levels of UV rays and irritants in air pollutants. Khuram Sarwar, Dispensing Optician at Feel Good Contacts, said: 'Europe has seen particularly intense weather patterns this summer - with high UV ratings, temperature records shattered, and wildfires burning throughout the continent as a result. 'If you wear monthly contact lenses, consider switching to dailies for the duration of your holiday to avoid any irritation from dust, debris and loose particles in the air. Make sure to choose lenses that offer a moderate UV protection for your eyes too. 'However, the most effective way to protect your eyesight is by limiting sun exposure and using certified UV400 rated sunglasses with 100 per cent UV protection. Sunglasses can also protect your eyes from potential pollutants and irritants, such as dust.' Read on to discover the holiday spots where should take extra precaution this summer: 1. Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina Despite boasting forested hills and rugged mountain ranges, Bosnia's capital is renowned for its poor air quality - rated 30.8 by IQ Air Index for 2024. This is more than six times over air quality level recommended by WHO, and one of the highest overall in the continent. Sarajevo's geographical position in a valley surrounded by mountains creates a natural basin that traps air pollutants, especially during temperature inversions. In the city, UV ratings can reach Very High - 8 during the height of summer potentially causing serious issues for tourists who are not wearing proper protection. 2. Venice, Italy The Italian coastal city is arguably one of the most popular tourist hotspots in Europe due to its winding canals and historic architecture, however, the intense UV rays combined with poor air quality can be detrimental for travellers' eyesight. The city's geographical location in a basin-like valley allows pollutants to linger, as with Sarajevo, and combined with emissions from cruise ships and diesel powered boats, this places Venice in the top 10 per cent for worst air qualities in Europe. In 2024, it reached a rating of 18.6 in 2024 by the IQ Air Index, almost four times the recommended WHO guidelines. While Venice is not exceptionally high in UV levels compared to, say, locations near the equator, the city can endure UV ratings of Very High - 8 in August. 3. Tirana, Albania Albania has seen a sharp surge in tourism over the last decade, with almost 7 million in-bound visitors in 2024 compared to 3.7 million the previous year. Albania has seen a sharp surge in tourism over the last decade, with almost 7 million inbound visitors in 2024 compared to 3.7 million the previous year. However, the region boasts a Mediterranean climate, characterised by warm, sunny weather, especially during spring and summer, meaning the capital suffers from high heat and poor air quality. Tirana's construction boom, alongside older vehicles and a lack of public transportation infrastructure, has significantly contributed to the city being awarded an average 14.5 rating with the IQ Air Index in 2024. UV radiation levels in Tirana can be high due to several factors, including its geographic location and climate, with a UV index of Very High – 8 in August 2024. 4. Lanarca, Cyprus Travellers are warned of industrial emissions, vehicle traffic, and proximity to desert landscapes in the Middle East and North Africa that has Lanarca's air quality exceeding the WHO guidelines Cyprus, being an island with a relatively dry climate, generally experiences clear skies and sunny spells during summer, making it a top holiday destination for millions of tourists each year. However, travellers are warned of industrial emissions, vehicle traffic, and proximity to desert landscapes in the Middle East and North Africa that has Lanarca's air quality exceeding the WHO guidelines by almost three times, with a rating of 13.7 in 2024. Cyprus boasts temperatures of over 40C in the summer, resulting in an August UV index of Very High – 9, meaning tourists should protect their eyes using UV400 certified sunglasses at the very least. 5. Seville, Spain Due to its location on the Iberian peninsula, Seville has its own microclimate, which makes it one of the hottest holiday destinations in central Europe throughout the year. However, the Spanish hotspot suffers with poor air quality because of its close proximity to North Africa, which carries over red dust across from the Sahara Desert - a phenomenon known as 'Calima'. This has resulted in Seville's rating of 12.3 in 2024 with the IQ Air Index - almost two and a half times the recommended WHO guidelines. The UV rating in the city is also typically quite high, with August ratings tipping Very - 9 each day.

Urgent warning to Brit tourists as seven-mile stretch of Costa Blanca coast is closed to swimmers after invasion of sea creatures with potentially-fatal sting
Tourists have been banned from going into the water along an entire seven-mile stretch of Spain 's Costa Blanca because of rare sea creatures with a potentially-fatal sting. Reg flags went up on beaches in the municipality of Guardamar del Segura just north of Torrevieja following the appearance of so-called blue dragons, which have been branded 'the most beatiful killer in the ocean.' The sea slug, also known as Glaucus atlanticus, feeds on the deadly Portuguese man o' war and other venomous seabeasts. The dazzling blue creatures absorbs the stinging cells from its food and stores them in concentrated doses, giving it a far more potent sting than its prey. Typical symptoms of the blue dragon's sting include nausea, pain, vomiting and acute allergic contact dermatitis. Guardamar del Segura's mayor Jose Luis Saez, confirming the sea ban order yesterday which he indicated would remain in place until further notice, said on his official X account: 'Red flag on the beaches of Guardamar. 'Bathing is prohibited following the appearance on Vivers Beach of two specimens of Glaucus atlanticus, known as the Blue Dragon.' He added: 'We remind people that despite its bright and striking colour and it's small 1.5 inch size, they should stay away from this animal because of its sting.

'If you get stung, wash the area affected with salt water and head to your nearest first aid point or health centre. 'These creatures are poisonous and their stings can cause nausea, pain and vomiting. 'For the time being and until further notice, bathing in the sea is prohibited.' Vivers Beach, a natural stretch of coast south of the Segura River and north of La Babilonia Beach, was said to be full of people yesterday although less people than normal were in the sea defying the bathing ban order and risking heavy fines. The dazzling blue creatures absorbs the stinging cells from its food and stores them in concentrated doses, giving it a far more potent sting than its prey. Typical symptoms of the blue dragon's sting include nausea, pain, vomiting and acute allergic contact dermatitis Lifeguards with loudhailers were expected to remind tourists and locals today about the prohibition according to local reports, although sunseekers will still be allowed to head to beaches even if they don't take a dip in the sea. Red flags went up at Santa Barbara beach in La Linea de la Concepcion near Gibraltar on Sunday after police received an emergency call about a blue dragon sighting and six were later found on the shoreline. It was reopened to bathers the following day, with a yellow warning flag up instead of the red one. This is not the first time dangerous sea creatures have caused swimmers to be banned from the water in Costa Blanca. In 2018, bathers were told to avoid the ocean after the reappearance of Portuguese Men O'War. An 11-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after being stung by one of the jellyfish-like creatures on the few beaches that remained open on some of the most popular parts of the coastline with British holidaymakers. The red flag was also hoisted at La Marina beach near Elche - where the youngster was hurt - after he was stung. Lifeguards removed the animal's tentacles from his arm but he was taken to nearby Elche Hospital after complaining of stomach and neck pain. He was discharged a few hours later after receiving treatment. Local reports said nearly 75 miles of Costa Blanca coastline had been declared off limits.
