An excellent spot to sit in one of the many little bars and restaurants listening to the spanish music and watching the boats floating on the water. Try and catch it when the sun is low in the sky and the golden ripples are almost hypnotic (when you've had a beer or three). Lovely place to sit and relax.

This is such a brilliant little museum, run by volunteers. It is housed in the original airport building and it is fascinating to see how things have changed in what is a relatively short period of time. A great deal of thought and effort has been put into setting up the museum and it's brilliant. You can see the air traffic control part, the cafe area as well as examples of the uniforms worn by the airline staff. There is a good book collection and some excellent posters as well as a very thought-provoking cabinet showing the kinds of items that were confiscated. When we visited there was also an excellent display of aircraft and airport related models, all made from recycled plastic. There were some excellent little booklets available too, aimed at children. It's a wonderful little museum.

Lovely beach area, clean wide promenade, stretching long way both directions along seafront, beautiful villas alongside, lots of nice cafe/bars/restaurants, and nice surprise, public loos!!! Not many of these around. Plenty of seats along the prom. I only walked from Playa Honda, then up to the main road opposite Superdinos, couldn't cross the main dual carriage way, so wandered back down again, a 1k walk each way, 2k is enough for me, but it was a beautiful day, warm and sunny, quite a fair wind so lovely white breakers on a deep blue sea. Ended up back at Playa Honda bay, into Goliaths for a fresh long drink of iced orange juice, lovely staff, great stuff.

This is a former chief of police who appears larger than life and with a cheery smile. It’s at the entrance to the busy shopping street.
