Popcorn Playa

We 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.
