Do you know what the EBAR is? It means Estación de Bomba de Aguas Residuales; in other words, sewage pumping station. Well, the blockhouse affair right next to Las Góndolas is precisely that.

La Herradura Riding
by David Darby •
If you’re struggling to think of something to do during your stay in our area, why not phone Karen at the La Herradura Riding Centre, and book either a riding lesson or even better, a few hours in the saddle.

Yuan Wok

If you have never eaten at a Wok style Asian Restaurant, then you have truly missed out. Being a lover of Asian cuisine, this is one of my favourite concepts.
You choose from uncooked super fresh ingredients, take them to the guy at the wok, who will give you a choice of sauces… he then cooks the fresh food in front of you while you wait. It is delicious beyond belief!
