We, two Canadian couples, spent three happy weeks in Mercedes’ apartment which overlooks the Mediterranean. It is well situated as it is across the street from the beach with its promenade of several kilometres, many restaurants and children’s playgrounds. It is also a very short walk to the local market where the fruit, vegetables and fish are all fresh and delicious and where there is a coffee shop serving hot, delicious churros, a local delicacy. It is about a 40 minute walk (or short bus ride) to the historical old town, harbour, park, and Alcazaba. Many good, cheap restaurants are only a few minutes’ walk away and we enjoyed many tasty tapas dinners. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated, the beds are comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and hot water is plentiful. In addition to the four of us, our daughter, husband and two-year-old granddaughter visited us and Mercedes kindly provided a high chair and baby bed.
Mercedes answers questions and solves problems very quickly and Juan and Demelsa, our local contacts, were very helpful. They don’t speak English so we communicated by using a translation program on our phone so If you don’t speak Spanish it would be a useful thing to have. We were pleased that Juan was willing to order taxis for us the day we left as our Spanish is very limited. The only flaw, and the reason we didn’t give the property five stars, is the noisy road between the apartment and the beach. With the windows closed, however, it was pleasant to sit on the balcony and enjoy the view.
Thank you for a great holiday!
