We often come to el cotillo and like to sit in the stone circles to protect ourselves from the wind , we also like to watch the wildlife that lives in the little stone circles,i.e , lizards , mice and watch the birds perch.We have heard, some idiots have bulldozed down these circles ??.I dont know if this is Council lead ,or someones elses idea, but i would like to know , who gives permission for this and what about the enviroment for these spiecies of animals.

Unfortunately, it was a decision by La Olivia Council that these stone circles are not part of the natural habitat of the island, therefore they were removed and once a week a JCB comes to check and any new ones built are demolished.  They were being used for activities which I am not going to specifically mention!

So, you need to obtain a windbreaker or two if you want to enjoy the beach here without being blown away or sand blasted.

People for years have been saying theres drug abuse or sexual goings on, i have been coming for over 20 years and have not seen any such thing, its all hearsay and gossip,people need to think of the eco systems on the island

we now sit onAs naturists we used to use the stone circles particularly on the stoney area near El Cotillo ,however in recent years we have found them in a disgusting filthy state and won’t use them now , they may look ok at a glance but  as you smooth the sand to lay your towel we have found the most disgusting things . We now sit on the clean sand in the open or a wind break if required .
