Surfing Majanicho
A right reef in The North Track, Spain, for advanced and pro surfers.
Majanicho is a small fishing hamlet on the North Track, with several reef peaks around it, lefts and rights over shallow, sharp lava reef. The waves are punchy and often hollow, and the takeoffs are critical.
It's for experienced surfers who are comfortable over shallow rock, and reef boots are a must. The North Track has many similar reefs, so look around before you paddle out.
It's best on a clean north-west swell in winter. There's nothing in the hamlet itself, so bring water and food. Corralejo is about fifteen minutes away on the dirt track, and Lajares, inland, is the nearest village with cafés.

Getting there
Where to stay: Corralejo is the base for the North Track, with the most apartments, surf hostels, schools and restaurants on the island. El Cotillo, on the west side, is quieter and closer to the beaches and the lagoons. Lajares, inland between the two, is a small village popular with surfers who want something calmer.
