Playa de El Reducto Reabierta al Baño
The good news for expats and digital nomads living in or visiting Santa Cruz de Tenerife is that the beach of El Reducto has been re-opened to swimming after a period of closure due to water contamination.

According to local authorities, the ban on bathing was lifted after tests confirmed that the water quality at El Reducto no longer poses a health risk due to enterococci bacteria. This means that residents and visitors can now enjoy the beach again without concerns about water quality.
While this specific development is good for the area, it's worth noting that water quality can change, and regular checks are conducted to ensure safety. If you're planning a visit to El Reducto or any other beach, it's a good idea to check the latest health advisories to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
For those of us who have been waiting for this, it's a relief to know that we can hit the beach again. El Reducto is a popular spot, and its reopening will be a welcome change for locals and tourists alike. Just remember to keep an eye on the health advisories, as they can change quickly. Enjoy the sun and the sea, but stay safe!
