Una playa preciosa, hamacas a un precio asequible, 15 € el conjunto de dos con sombrilla y colchonetas muy cómodas, hasta tenía tiestos con arena para las colillas. Eso es preocuparte del entorno!!! Buen por Andrea!!! Gracias a seguir dando ese buen servicio.

Very beautiful golden beach with many beautiful stones. Very beautiful turquoise and crystal clear water. You can rent a beach umbrella and two chair at Andrea’s cantina with a very good price (I paid 7€ ) as well as you can have snack & drink: the sandwiches are very tasty and I prefer the pastels (homemade traditional sweets).

Classico posto da scappati di casa. Ma: molto gentile. Veloce. Di poche parole, ma che fa. Semplice e divertente. Un furgone sulla spiaggia spacciato per Kantina. Geniale. Con tanto di cartelli stradali a indicarlo. Fantastico.
