Fuerteventura, Corralejo old town

Fuerteventura, Corralejo. The original part of the town is based around the old harbour, which was used by local fishermen. Here the small sheltered beach, playa la Clavellina, provides safe bathing for locals and holidaymakers of Correlejo alike. Fishing from the harbour wall is a popular pastime, and it is not usually as busy as the photograph suggests. On this particular day there was a competitive swim from Lobos back to Corralejo, and people who had been visiting the tourist information office in Fuerteventura, Correlejo, as well as relatives of those taking part crowded onto the wall for a good view.
