Emilio met us at the apartment and showed us round , gave us a map of the neighbourhood, wi-fi codes and recommended cool local places to eat. The apartment looked every bit as good as the photos, with a sunny terrace and a sense of space all leading up from sandstone steps.
It began to feel like home very quickly!

Cabanyal is a real neighbourhood, with friendly locals and lovely bars and good restaurants - especially Cal de Mar on the corner. Also its just over 5 minutes to walk to the beach. Perfect.
