Stop At: Popcorn Playa, 35660 Corralejo, La Oliva, Fuerteventura Spain
We also visit the now world-famous popcorn beach in Corralejo.
The millions of small calcareous algae that lie on the beach look a lot like popcorn and are frequently photographed by everyone.
The popcorn beach has been given its own hashtag on Instagram with #PopCornBeach and has also attracted the Spanish and foreign press with articles in the Daily Mail and attention on Fox News in the United States.
Where they come from -
These calcareous algae almost certainly come from the bottom of the so-called 'estrecho de Bocaina' that separates Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. There is a forest of rhodolites that guarantees the fishing reserves of Majanicho and the coast of the municipality of La Oliva in general.

Torre del Tostón is the most prominent monument in the village. It was built in 1700 to protect the coast against pirates from France, England and Barbary pirates.
The first mentions of el Cotillo date back to the seventeenth century, when it was known as a fishing community. It was located in an area where ships docked, called “Puerto del Roque”. The island council of Fuerteventura established in the same area the so-called “Casa del Puerto del Tostón”, which became one of the ports of the trade route between Madeira and Fuerteventura. Since the mid-twentieth century the village has been called “el Cotillo”.
