Hotel without a night bar
Very good, what I didn't see well is that the hotel doesn't have a bar to have a drink at night if you don't always feel like going out. We went to eat at the restaurant called Brida, very good food.

Touristy but not overwhelming
Touristy but not overwhelming. A tourist town with a vast beach. The best for us was the road to Ronda, where you discover other beaches and coves. Great shopping area.

Great vacation
Vacation. It was great, a lot of shops, a lot of ice cream parlors, etc. The GHIOTTO ice cream parlor with a guy named DAVID who prepares incredible ice creams, especially the rolled ones. And of course... The beach is beautiful.
