In the afternoons there is live music (Spanish folk and blues, jazz, flamenco etc) that takes place on the terrace.

When You leave through the rear of the Atlantico Centre, you pass the beautiful lake that is surrounded by gardens. This area looks straight through to the new beach that has been created with safety and children in mind. The beach is made up of shallows coves with breakwaters placed out to sea to stop the waves coming in. This intern makes for some stunning bathing areas with beautiful imported white sands. The old castle looks down over Chiringuito’s Bar that is out on one of the 2 piers that go out into the sea.. You can grab a nice cold cocktail here relax or have a game of pool. From here you can see the Horse-shoe beach and the marina area which is about a 10min walk away.
