\"Zahara de los Atunes, near Cadiz, used tractors to spray more than 2km (1.2 miles) of beach with a bleach solution a day before Spain allowed children out of lockdown for the first time.\
\
Environmentalists say the move caused \"brutal damage\" to the local ecosystem.\
\
Spain has been badly affected by the coronavirus, with 23,800 deaths.\
\
It recently announced a four-phase plan to lift its stringent lockdown measures and return to a \"new normality\" by the end of June.\
\
María Dolores Iglesias, who heads an environmental volunteer group in the Cadiz region, said she had visited the beach at Zahara de los Atunes and seen the damage for herself.\
\
She said the bleach \"killed everything on the ground, nothing is seen, not even insects\".\"
