I know the town of Corralejo fairly well. It’s one of the main tourist resorts on the island of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands.
On the outskirts of Corralejo, at the beginning of the largest beach, there’s a pretty house where, beyond its whitewashed walls, exotic flora flourish; with surrealist sculptures created by the owner and his vivid imagination.
This is Villa Tabaiba, Avenida Corralejo Grandes Playas, 139.
The owner of this intriguing house, I have discovered, is Carlos Calderón Yruegas, an architect born in Seville.
He also happens to be a painter, photographer, sculptor, and author.
Senõr Yruegas has lived in this house for more than thirty years.
His surrealistic art uses mannequins, which he paints with bikinis, faces; and even dolls.
It’s a joy to pass his home, pausing to admire his humorous works of art.
