Nuria was a very pleasant host. We were arriving very late on our first night and she graciously stayed to welcome us. The condo was as described, had ample room to sleep the eight of us (5 adults and 3 children) and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for the week. The complex itself was in modest shape with locked gates for security. It had a clean pool and a playground area for smaller children. The immediate area, Mas Pinell, is okay and maybe has seen better days. Mas Pinell is definitely not a touristy community. It has only a couple public restaurants and bars. The positive side is that it provided a nice, quiet, relaxing environment. Internet is scarce or rare and would have helped us plan daily excursions in the surrounding area. The short walk to the beach was easy and gave us several days of great waves and swimming. There is a neat little beach cafe/bar with sangria, wine, beer and tasty local cuisine such as sardines, tuna tartar and tomatoes with mozellera. There is also a great little supermercado with fresh baked goods, cold drinks, meats, and dry goods right near by. The area surrounding Mas Pinell (Pals, L'Estartit) affords nice restaurants, bars and shopping. We would stay again.
