I received this link in an email today and thought that many of you may enjoy the skill and dedication that must have gone into the creation of these .

Enjoy

Wow.
But how?
Are they using some kind of binding agent or glue or something?

They are amazing. I really enjoyed looking at them

If they had been made in England I suppose that most of the binding agents would already be in the sea water

They were just simply amazing an art in itself I would say.

Jeez - I dread to think how long some of them must have taken to build .

I saw an exhibition of sand castles on Brighton beach a few years ago, they're even more amazing when you see them close up.

They really are amazing!!

If they had been in England they'd have syringes and crisp packets sticking out of them..

surley that would colapse when it rained, or the tide came in too far, that would be quite sad, all thoese hours making them and washed awak in a matter of minits

When I was in Fuertaventura a few years ago, there was a guy who was on the beach every morning making elaborate sandcastles like these. One day, he took all day to make a beautiful recreation of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry (in Harry Potter for those who haven't read the books!), complete with moat and a curled parchment-esque inscription bearing the name. Then a group of kids came and smashed it up in about 30 seconds. Needless to say he was devestated, but then spent the rest of the next day and some of the night rebuilding it all!! Now that's dedication, and he got a round of applause if I remember correctly.

Any reason why those kids didn't get a round of beatings?
