Very conveniently situated apartment

We have just returned from a very comfortable week in this apartment. It was clean and equiped with everything we needed, including a proper coffee maker which was very welcome. The area felt very safe too.
The balcony has excellent views over the bay and there is usually something happening on the water to look at. It was very windy [more so than usual aparently] which enabled lots of wind surfers to get out and do their stuff, entertaining us in the process.
The smell from the restaurant below was a bit of a pain, but think that most youngsters will be out and about during the evenings anyway so are unlikely to notice, and it was always gone by 11 - 11.30 so we could have the door open after thant if we wanted to.
This must be one of the most convenient places I have ever stayed, being close to absolutely everything, 400 yards to the big supermarket, 200 yards to the beach, and less that a minute to umpteen restaurants, including the Yaiza restaurant which is really worthwhile if you enjoy good food. It was also very close to the Titsa bus stops which take you just about everywhere. Having spent one day in Los Christianos, we were very thankful we chose to stay in El Medano, which is much smaller and quieter without being dead.
Just below the balcony the waves really crashed in at high tide - very exciting and at low tide you got to see quite a number of birds, I think we saw dunlins, plovers and curlews but didn't have a book with me.
The walk up the red mountain was worth the effort, a surprising number of plants to be seen and it was geological interesting too.
