If you are looking for a stay in an authentic local Spanish town milieu, El Palo and this apartment is for you. The house is located in a very central area of the "barrio", with all key services within minutes of walk, including the nearest supermarket just a few steps away and the local "mercado" for fresh meat and seafood around the corner. Also fruit and vegetable markets are abundant. From the second floor balcony you can watch the busy little street during daytime while in the night everything calms down (no noisy bars on the street) and you sleep well. As typical for narrow houses in this area the apartment is a tunnel-like structure, with the bathroom at the other end and a quite spacious living room facing the street at the other. All the needed facilities were there and cooking was a pleasure; the little separate oven was big enough even for preparing a lamb leg. We spent the New Year time there, so some chilliness was to be expected and remedied by a gas heater.
