What the land is like in Rincón de la Victoria and which escollera walls we build
Rincón de la Victoria is growing north of the motorway, on hills of red earth and slate where almost every plot has a level change. In developments such as Añoreta, Cotomar or Los Almendros it's common to have a bank behind or in front of the house that needs holding back.
Towards Benagalbón and Moclinejo the land is more rural, with olive and almond farms and dirt tracks. There, walls are used for terraces, access roads and to stop the soil washing down in the autumn rains.

Escollera walls in Rincón de la Victoria: common problems and how we solve them
These are the problems we come across most when people call us from Rincón de la Victoria, from La Cala del Moral to Torre de Benagalbón. We explain what's going on and what we do.
The problem
Collapsed farm terraces
Olive, almond or avocado terraces have fallen in and the good soil is being lost.
How we solve it
We rebuild the terraces with local stone escollera and replace the topsoil on top.
The problem
The bank crumbles with every rainfall
Soil keeps falling bit by bit, the fence leans and every storm takes a piece of the plot.
How we solve it
Escollera wall with the first course buried in firm ground and drainage behind, so water drains away without pushing.
The problem
An old wall that's bulging or cracked
Masonry or block walls that have opened up over the years and are no longer safe.
How we solve it
We assess whether it can be reinforced at the foot or whether it's better to take it down and rebuild it in escollera, which tolerates small movements without breaking.
The problem
A sloping plot you can't use
There's no flat space for a garden, pool or parking, and half the plot is a slope.
How we solve it
Cut and compacted fill to create platforms, held with escollera on the low side.
Escollera wall prices in Rincón de la Victoria
An escollera wall is priced per square metre of exposed face (length × height). Here's the guide figure; the fixed price is given by our technician after seeing the land.

Request a technician's visitWhat changes the price in Rincón de la Victoria
The stone. In Rincón we mainly use rustic stone; in developments where a neater finish is wanted, quarried block stone.
Access. In developments access is usually good but with little room to manoeuvre; on the Benagalbón farms, narrow tracks.
More detail on prices, stone types and how it's calculated on our escollera walls in Málaga.
What a good escollera wall needs
An escollera wall lasts for decades if it's built properly from the bottom up. This is how we do it in Rincón de la Victoria.
The right stone
Large, sound blocks at the base and decreasing size towards the top. Rounded or broken stone doesn't interlock like quarried rock.
Batter
The wall leans against the slope with a slight inward incline. A vertical escollera wall performs worse and is less stable.
Compacted backfill
The area behind the wall is filled and compacted in layers. If the fill settles afterwards, cracks open up on the plot above.

Escollera wall cases we see in Rincón de la Victoria
Typical situations that come up in the area and how they're solved.
Undermined garage ramp
The situation. The side of the entrance ramp was being left hanging in mid-air.
The solution. Escollera at the foot of the ramp and a ditch to divert the water.
A garden that was slipping away
The situation. Plot with a bank down to the street; the lower part of the garden gave way with every storm and the fence was starting to lean.
The solution. Escollera wall with a buried foundation and drainage; a flat stretch of garden is gained.
Farm track next to the river
The situation. The track was being undermined on the riverbed side.
The solution. Large-stone escollera and a culvert under the track.
These are typical examples of common situations, not quotes. Every job is assessed on the visit.

Escollera wall FAQs in Rincón de la Victoria
Do you build escollera walls in La Cala del Moral and Benagalbón?
Yes, we work throughout the municipality: Rincón, La Cala del Moral, Torre de Benagalbón, Benagalbón and the Añoreta, Cotomar or Los Almendros developments.
How much does an escollera wall cost in Rincón de la Victoria?
From €100/m² + VAT on plots with good access. In developments with little room for the machine or on farms with a narrow track the price goes up. The fixed quote is given after the visit.
Can an escollera wall be built on a small development plot?
Yes. We use smaller machinery and blocks suited to the space. On the visit we check where the machine can get in and where the stone can be stockpiled.
Which company builds escollera walls in Rincón de la Victoria?
MURES builds escollera walls in Rincón de la Victoria: we're a Vélez-Málaga company specialising in natural stone retaining walls, excavation and earthworks, with our own machinery and crew and a 5.0 rating on Google. We handle everything: visit, fixed written quote, stone, excavation, placement and drainage.
How long does it take to build an escollera wall in Rincón de la Victoria?
It depends on the length, height and access. A small wall can be finished in a few days and a large one, with a lot of earthmoving, can take several weeks. The timescale is stated in writing in the quote.
Does the technician's visit cost anything?
The visit is free and with no obligation if the land or the job is yours, whether or not you hire us. If you're still thinking about buying a plot and want us to assess its feasibility, that visit costs €100 + VAT, and if you end up buying and hire us for the work, we deduct it from the quote.
Do you build gabion walls?
No, MURES doesn't build gabion walls. We build escollera, stone masonry and reinforced concrete walls, which cover almost every case on farms and plots in Málaga.
How much does escollera cost per cubic metre or per tonne?
It depends on the quarry, the block size and haulage to the site. That's why we prefer to price per square metre of finished wall: it includes stone, machinery, placement, foundation and drainage, so you know from the start what you'll pay.
How tall can an escollera wall be?
Typical walls on plots and farms range from 1 to 4 metres. Above that, or when there are houses or roads on top, the wall is engineered and may need a project from a qualified engineer. The height determines the stone size and the depth of the foundation.
How is the foundation of an escollera wall built?
A trench is dug down to firm ground and the first course of large blocks is laid buried in it. On soft ground or next to watercourses the trench is deeper. Drainage goes behind, and then the upper courses are built leaning into the slope.
Can you build the wall if access in Rincón de la Victoria is difficult?
Yes. Before quoting, we check where the lorry and machine can get in. If the track is narrow or steep, we work with smaller machinery or in phases. Access is reflected in the quote, so there are no surprises on the day.
