Does El Garruncho have a Blue Flag?

No. El Garruncho is not listed with a Blue Flag in the MITECO data. The nearest Blue Flag beach is Aguilar (Muros de Nalón), 3 km away in a straight line. Not having one does not make El Garruncho worse: the award certifies services and water quality, not scenery.
