Does Espiñeiro have a Blue Flag?

No. Espiñeiro is not listed with a Blue Flag in the MITECO data. The nearest Blue Flag beach is Camaxe (A Illa de Arousa), under 1 km away in a straight line. Not having one does not make Espiñeiro worse: the award certifies services and water quality, not scenery.
