The sand, unfortunately, is not the white pearly sand of dreams but it is still desirable enough. We came during April, more specifically Spring Break. It wasn't crowded at all; however, it also wasn't that hot. The day was warm but the water was not. At least not enough for this 37 year old to jump in the water. If I would have jumped in, I would have jumped right back out to my Airbnb for a hot shower. My kids, however, had a great time and felt nothing as they collected cool little seashells and threw their bodies against the waves. Overall, it was a great day at a great beach close to the city center. A few things to note: 1) bring food and drinks because I saw zero stores or shops around that offer that stuff. 2) this is Europe so be prepared to see more skin than you will at the U.S. beaches (basically there seemed to be a shortage of tops to go with all bikini bottoms out there). 3) as in all the touristy spots in Spain, an innumerable amount of guys will approach your spot asking if you'd like to buy sunglasses, blankets, towels, beer, and other junk (too bad they weren't selling those tops we spoke of earlier; they'd have made a killing). Enjoy!

Arriving without a reservation on a Saturday, we were seated without a wait; service was welcoming, quick, and very friendly. Tip: The starter we chose (with advice from our server) was the steamed mussels. As our server had said, we found that a single portion was more than enough for two to share. We also enjoyed several cocktails with our meal that day; my favorite by far was the Pumpkin amuse - delicious! For our main, we shared the fillet of ray (tronco rodaballo). This dish was beautiful to look at, with a taste profile that bordered on distilled awesomeness :-) Bottom line: Fabulous views, excellent service, and wonderful food made our experience here one that I look forward to repeating. While the prices for bread, wine, and coffee were a bit on the high side, the overall cost of our meal was more than reasonable given the quality of the food and the service.

The service here is HORRIBLE. we waited 45 minutes to get when the line was 10 people ahead of us…read more I waited for 30 MINUTES FOR WATER. The waiters blatantly ignore their customers and when they do talk to you they ignored me to my FACE. I asked for a margarita and the waiter WALKED AWAY. We ordered our free cocktails over an hour and a half ago and NOTHING. my friend also ordered a salad and it's been an hour. The workers are extremely rude and the service is HORRIBLE. do not come here no matter WHAT.
