; Ave Cándido Lobera; r €150; )
You'll need a vehicle
to get to this very classy choice with large, grand rooms, warm use of wood throughout, a
high level of quality furnishings and balconies with great views to sea. The circular dining
room overlooking the city is an elegant touch. The adjacent Parque Lobera is great for
kids.

but there are plenty of others around Ave de Juan Carlos I Rey.
There are plenty of small grocery shops in the streets around Parque Hernández. For the
