Beaches and coastal walks: Our apartment is 24 years old and still retains much of the Spanish character that maybe is lacking in some of the new builds (including a funny light brown bathroom suite!) the block has only 3 stories, so the pool area gets the sun all day long, but does have shady areas and has a cordoned off children’s pool.The pool is only shared by 36 other apartments and you may leave our sun beds round the pool, unlike a lot of other apartment blocks.
Punta Prima beach and restaurant, is a short stroll away without having to cross any busy roads, Just at the end of the road next to the Nautilus bar and restaurant is as small beach and a little further round the coast is a palm fringed cove.
