Re: Jellyfish
Thinking of going to the beach in Fuengirola tomorrow. Does anyone know if there are any jellyfish there at the moment??

Re: Jellyfish
We've got them here in Manilva but I would say the wind direction has been wrong for them to be on Fuengirola's beaches at the moment...a poniente is due which means they will get blown back in your direction from tomorrow but I reckon you should be ok.
Keep an eye on other people..if you see crowds of them standing on the shoreline peering into the sea ...watch out!
If you want to be prepared for the worst, take a bottle of vinegar with you it is far less embarrassing than peeing on yourself and works quickly neutralising the toxin

It might be fog & murk worrying you more than medusas if today in Fuengirola was anything to go by............
