Over the last few years it has gone through a redevelopment, but has still maintained it's Spanish charm. From within the centre a very quaint and very old church in the main square. It still retains it fishing roots as this can be seen through a lot of good seafood restaurants on the waterfront. The beach has just been awarded again the blue flag, and in the height of summer it is not overcrowded. </font></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"> There is a large new children's play area on the front as  you walk down into the village from the apartment. There are 2 markets - street market on Fridays and on Sundays there is a large market/car boot sale in the  new purpose built area just outside the village. The amenities are more and bigger than at the marina and also include the local police/ pharmacy/post office/ English speaking doctor and dentist and more.<br> </font> <br> </font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana"> <b><span style="text-transform: uppercase">Castillo</span></b><br> <br> <img border="0" src="Castilloc.gif" align="left" width="300" height="202"> <font size="2">Castillo means Castle which gives this fishing village it's name. This 18th century fortress lies within 10 minutes walk west of the apartment. This is a very quaint community which has had some recent changes over th<img border="0" src="Castillob.gif" width="200" height="130" align="right">e years but still remains a very small village. </font></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2"> There are several very good seafood restaurants here which come very highly recommended and a very small local convenience store( and I mean small!).
