The beach is long and wide, nice for walking. Hitting the high spots, the adjacent areas have much entertainment to offer. Tampa is 30 minutes away by auto. Busch Gardens, an Aquarium, Lowry Park Zoo are located in Tampa. Several performing arts centers, professional baseball, football and hockey teams call the Tampa Bay area home.
Disney world is two hours away.
Shopping in the wider area is very good. We want to visit the north of Spain, Cantabria or Asturias. Emilio's parents were from that area. We have visited many times but would like to stay for a month with out imposing on family. June is the best month for us.
