Mandragora, at 3 Calle Independencia (+34 956 681 291), serves healthy and tasty tagines, couscous and salads, a ten-minute walk from the hotel.Worth getting out of bed for
Whale-watching (or dolphin-spotting, at the very least) can be arranged through the hotel. Surfing, windsurfing, kiting can also be arranged, as can horse-riding excursions. Playa de los Lances is the town beach, but the staff will direct you to more secluded, duney sands (you turn off at the sign for Punta Paloma, basically).
