Costas prohibits access to part of the north coast of Fuerteventura.

Among the places that cannot be accessed by car is from the north of Majanicho to Caleta del Barco

A coastal sign installed this week prohibits camping, dumping waste and even access and circulation on a dirt track that gives access to a large area in the north of Fuerteventura, between Majanicho and Caleta del Barco.



The area, which is a regular destination for sportsmen and fishermen from the north of the island, as well as families looking for a place away from tourists to swim, especially in the summer period, has been closed under a ban by the agency. The poster confirms that this prohibition is contemplated in Law 22/1988 of 28 June on Coasts.

Users do not mind this prohibition of access, although many understand the prohibition of camping, and even a process of regulation of access, "but the prohibition is barbaric, since the area is common for sportsmen or fishermen, as well as users who enjoy the coast with criteria of conservation and environmental observance of the territory".

It so happens that recently the Government of the Canary Islands assumed competences in matters of Coasts in the Archipelago, but in the prohibition of access the logo is of the Government of Spain, "demarcation of the Canary Islands", so the controversy is served. The poster reminds us that "intentionally causing damage or vandalism to this information medium may lead to criminal liability", so civility is called for the possible resolution of any conflict.

Tamara, do you know if this means the road is closed. As you know we have run/walked long that road from Corralejo to El Cotillo for many, many years. The last time the road was very busy with a lot of the drivers driving far too fast and irresponsibly we felt quite unsafe and the walk was spoiled. In the early years we walked on a narrow footpath and rarely saw anyone. Lovely costal walk.

As far as I'm aware it is the actual coastal track around that point that is prohibited to traffic, the track that cuts straight across is still open to traffic. Pedestrians OK on both as far as I can make out. However, I haven't been around there in person to check it out......

It's the popcorn beach stretch, starting from Majanico heading to Corralejo, where on a daily basis a lot of tourists and surfers driving and park their cars, destroying the whole area.

A step in the right direction. I wonder why they didn’t do the same for the track to Cotillo lighthouse. Let’s hope that’s next. Should be for pedestrians and cyclists only.
