Here's an old photo of Corralejo I recently found:



It looks like the street which is now the pedestrianised area north of the music square.  There is no date but it's probably mid 1970s.

Yes i think that must be Blue Rock on the left with the coca cola sign. Amazing photo.

Ole Man River

That is a very good photo Stone Free ! Makes you realize what a difference the tourist industry has made to the island. Just look at the road apart from the cars you could imagine Clint Eastwood riding down it.

Great photo, any idea when it was taken?

Unfortunately I don't have a date for this photo.  I reckon it's mid 1970s.

If that sort of change can occur in the last 40 years whats going to happen in the next 40. Mind boggling stuff.

Go to the website of Richard Murrin and scroll down to the 8th photo, “Fuerteventura 1980”:

It's the reverse view of the street.  I tried to insert the photo here but it's copyright restricted.
