An amazing apartment in an amazing city.
The photos tell the whole story: this is a modern, well appointed apartment with amazing views over the bay. It is on the seventh (top) floor of an block on the font row of the sea front (there is a good lift). It has everything we needed - washing machine, dishwasher, good wifi.
We didn't cook, as there are lots of amazing restaurants, and we didn't watch the telly (no idea of channels etc.)
The location is very good - overlooking the surf beach, which has fairly high waves on one side of the beach and is fairly calm on the other (thanks to the breakwater). Children can happily swim on the left hand side. The whole district is swarming with surfers, and there are lots of surf rental shops and surf schools.
There is a vibrant, non-touristy district behind the apartment, with a small supermarket a block away and lots of bars and coffee shops. The main tourist old town is a very-lovely five minute stroll down the sea front.
The city itself is amazing.
The only downside is the parking - there are a couple of underground car parks quite close, but they are 25 - 30 euros a day, which can add a couple of hundred for a week. If you plan to stay long, there are park and ride car parks on the edge of town, about 15 mins by bus. The Tourist Information has maps.
We will definitely be back.
