The plaza bar next door has the most wonderful waiter if you don’t buy the breakfast. Hotel staff were super helpful and friendly. If you want to go to the beach you can leave 10 euros at the front desk and return the town for your money back. So you don’t have to carry towels and things with you."

You'll find the town to be lively enough with local activity, but without the significant influx of summer holidaymakers, meaning easier access to restaurants and attractions.For those looking to enjoy the full beach experience, including swimming in warmer waters, the summer months of June to August are also excellent, though they are the busiest and hottest.
