7. Did you know…
Before the public skatepark opened in 2011, the Corralejo skater community used to gather on the empty parking lots near the harbour, sometimes building their own DIY ramps with leftover plywood and pallets. The campaign to convince the municipality to build a proper park took over five years — today the local crew organises occasional small contests and beginner sessions for kids during the summer.
