Corralejo Stone Circles

Jump to newest

Just seen a post on FB saying that all the stone circles on the dunes at Correljo have been removed. With the absence of any sun beds it would seem like the local council is trying to discourage tourists. Can anyone there now confirm the circles have been removed?

NYE ready to go . . .

That part of the beach at Pozo and all the way to Rosario is National Park. Maybe they just want to get it back to its natural state. It also could be that they don't want the circles being used for sex.

Yes, possibly. A shame though as they act as a great windbreak.

Just had a look and that that story has nothing to do with the beaches at Correljo . . .

The practice of raising mounds, or "rock stacking" as it is known in English, not only supposes an alteration of the landscape, but also causes environmental damage.

Local News.

'Last weekend, he has ordered the withdrawal of several monoliths and corralitos located on different beaches of the municipality of Pájara.

These apparently harmless structures alter the insular ecosystem. Flora and fauna are affected by removing the stones. On the one hand, the flora, which takes advantage of the moisture of the stones, dies. The fauna, which inhabits these stones, disappears. This is why the food chain is severely affected, since many invertebrates and various plants are food sources for other species.

From the areas of beaches and municipal services, citizen collaboration is requested to avoid such practices and become aware of the environmental impact it entails. In this regard, beach watchers will collaborate in the tasks of information and control to avoid leaving that characteristic trail. In addition, the Local Police will be responsible for enforcing the Coastal Law as well as the Municipal Beach Regulations, with penalties ranging from € 1,501 to € 3,000.'

Cheers, picked up the original story from a FB page called We Love Corralejo. We're over in September and much prefer the circles for privacy and shelter than the sunbeds.

I think the FaceBook folk just read the whole thing wrong.

Yes, here's hoping. The photo posted doesn't look like the dunes that we know and love. Looks more like the town beach.

Just to clarify the situation. The stone circles on the beach leading to the Riu hotels have not been removed, bulldozed, or whatever. They are still very much there as witnessed by a Friend of mine who walks that stretch if beach on a daily basis. The last time he was there, was Sunday the 10th of July 2022 at 15.00 hrs. Facebook is full of scaremongers and people repeating what they know from hearsay instead of finding out the facts. A little knowledge and all that……. So, boys and girls, go and have fun

Brilliant, thanks for the update. The OP on FB has since admitted he was wrong. Counting down to September

We will be making the most of the stone circles soon, 1st to 10th September.

Our favourite place is the South end of Glass Beach, about a mile south of the Riu hotels.

We always have a great time there

Another thing gone is the bar on the beach at El Cotilio, we loved that place, a family ran it for over 20yrs, council kicked them off for good. Such a shame.
