A few weeks ago a new sign was erected in the main street (Calle 3 de Abril de 1979) near the end of the football ground and outside the Riders – Surf n Bike shop.
La Oliva Ayuntamiento have been placing similar large “sculpture” type signs around most of the towns and villages in the region over the past year or so. They can be found in Corralejo, Lajares, Villaverde and La Oliva and maybe more.
El Cotillo is one of the last to receive one and it is a rather unique sign as it is multi-coloured (a blue “El” and a white “Cotillo”) whereas I think all the others are just white.
The El Cotillo sign seems to have sparked off much controversy as some people like it and others really hate it. Personally I neither hate it nor love it. It is a bit of a strange place to put it though.
What do you think? Comment below.
UPDATE: Since then, the sign below has been erected near the new harbour. This seems to have become popular as a photo opportunity.
I have been holidaying in Fuerteventura for over 30 years and first came to El Cotillo 17 years ago. I owned an apartment in El Cotillo for 10 years and now live with my wife, Sue, and dog, Jenson, just 5 miles away. El Cotillo is my favourite place in Fuerteventura.
