There are lovely walks in the area including one through olive groves to Los Chorerros, a waterfall where children (and adults) cool down in the hot summer days. The local pub, Dos Hermanos, is a 5 minute walk away and serves delicious free tapas all day. It has barbeques every Saturday night throughout the summer and is very popular with the local villagers and ex pats.
