An unusual natural event occurred in Spain's tourism region, the Canary Islands. Playa del Cura beach on Gran Canaria island was covered with thousands of blue jellyfish, turning the beach completely purple-blue.
This surprising sight, which astonished locals and tourists, quickly spread on social media. In the shared videos, the beach, normally known for its golden sands, is seen to be almost carpeted by jellyfish.
Experts state that the arrival of the jellyfish on the shore was a result of a recent storm. They also believe that this increase in jellyfish numbers may be related to rising sea temperatures and increasing sea pollution. Jellyfish can survive even in low-oxygen waters where other marine creatures struggle to live.
Spain has faced many extreme weather events in recent weeks. In the Costa del Sol region, hail the size of golf balls was reported. The streets of Alhaurin el Grande, which are normally sunny, were suddenly filled with ice and water after a sudden hailstorm. In Costa Blanca, severe flooding occurred in mid-March due to heavy rains.
