Ich weiss nicht wie es jetzt ist, wir waren dort in 1971, es gab keine Touristen nur wir, ein kleine hotel und ein sehr kleine Restaurant, wunderschöne leere Strände wo unsere kleine Sohn mit spanischen Kindern schwimmen gelernt hat. Leider ist jetzt alles überbaut.

I was taken aback when I returned to the beach after a four-year absence and saw the changes. It had become a commercial area with lots of shops and didn't have the same tranquil, natural Spanish beach atmosphere as before. It all depends on what you're looking for in a vacation.

The lake is absolutely stunning, and there is an outdoor playground right by the water for children to enjoy. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed during our visit in November.

This beach is an incredible find - the crystal clear water and ample space to relax make it a great spot. I recommend wearing booties, as there are gray fine pebbles on the shore. It's a peaceful and tranquil place, perfect for a relaxing day. Highly recommended!

This place is great for families with kids, with its shallow waters and lovely atmosphere. However, the sand can be too hot on your feet and the water can be a bit too placid for some.
