About
Barrancas de La Pedrera is a private residential complex on Playa del Barco, one block from the main street of La Pedrera (Rocha). Listings describe it as a private neighbourhood and as a «private, gated development». According to El País it is a private complex that predates Tajamares de La Pedrera and does not fit the official Dinot classification of gated communities, so it is not in the official survey.
It combines landscaped gardens with timber and masonry houses; front-row houses have sea views and their own path down to the beach. Common areas include a floodlit tennis court, a football pitch and green spaces, and there is a caretaker. There are houses and also small units: in 2026 a 31 m² apartment in the complex was for sale, as were two dwellings on a 381 m² plot.
Its main advantage is location: the village restaurants and bars are within walking distance. Many houses are let for the summer season.
The sources reviewed give no area, number of units, year of construction, common charges or rules. All data comes from sale and rental listings.
