I liked this apartment very much. Many beach apartments in the Costa Del Sol are modern, soulless high rise flats. This apartment is in El Palo, which has a very local feel to the area. The house itself was a three story building, and truly was facing the beach. I was there in December, so many of the restaurants on the beach in either direction were closed. However in the summer it would not be difficult to find beach front restaurants. The only negative is that one must take bus number 3 or 11 to get to the center, as from El Palo it is too far to walk. I enjoyed the authentic Spanish atmosphere of the neighborhood very much. The front porch was a great place to have breakfast and dinner, and from which one could watch the sunset.
