Is La Galera a good beach for children?

Does La Galera have a Blue Flag?
No. La Galera is not listed with a Blue Flag in the MITECO data. The nearest Blue Flag beach is Playa Ancha (Casares), 1 km away in a straight line. Without a flag, La Galera can be just as good: the label measures services and water quality, not looks.
