Advertencia de Guardias Forestales sobre el peligro de bañarse en la playa de Estremera en Madrid

High temperatures lead many to seek swimming spots, but not all are suitable or recommended, and this time forest rangers accompany us to discuss the dangers of this practice.

We visited the dam at Estremera Beach, on the banks of the Tagus River. The location, with its beautiful views, clear water, and the curves of the small dam that create water slides, invites swimming, but can also pose dangers.

The forest patrol has explained to us how the force of the water and sunken posts pose a serious danger to the unwary. The ranger tells us that in fact, there have already been some deaths.

The force of the water, moreover, is capable of easily sweeping a person away due to the strong currents that form, making it a tragedy if these rangers were not present at the time of the incident.

Near the area is a farm with animals, and the workers themselves report how the property fills with garbage when young people come to swim.
