Having a great time staying here. The place is well kept lovely relaxed atmosphere, if potentially say at worst the locals can be a tad rude but that said most are very polite.. but the locals maybe sick of the English I heard some mutter 😆.

The beach is stunning tbh with a good few waves to enjoy. Nice bars and food places, chemist supermarkets,, bus trip for 2 adults 3 kids was only 6 euros and 15 mind.

Other than some locals it’s quite honestly a stunning little place to come as a family 💯...
