Maria and Eduardo are old hippies that do fantastic meals and music when they are in the mood. When Maria is not in a good mood you will know about it. pretty rough accommodation, heaps of mossies and rats. Go for the hut perched on the cliff face. Lovely locale with the visiting yachts moored nearby.

We stayed here 2 nights. The food was the best Spanish I have ever tasted. There were kayaks and a catamaran for guests to use. I recommend this place.
