After the Parque Hollandaise roundabout (go straight through) you'll see Red Mountain on your left.
Hereon the scenery improves greatly

The first collection of buildings are not Corralejo. They're the suburbs of the two giant RIU hotels. Pass 'em by.
Cars do get stuck in the sand every day here.

Drive slowly within town
and again right at the next roundabout
