Casa Julia

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : This is a spacious well equipped apartment with two good sized bedrooms and great outdoor space. It is in an elevated position overlooking Puerto de la Nieves with the dramatic north Gran Canarian coast as a backdrop. To the left are sea views towards Tenerife and we very much enjoyed watching and listening to the waves crashing on the shore. There is a restaurant a few minutes walk away where if you buy a few drinks you can use their pool for free. Also close is the Rico Negra hotel. Head for the roof terrace for a sundown cocktail. A lovely 20 minute walk along a modern prom will take you to the Port past a wonderful lido hewn out of volcanic rock. Angor is probably the best of the tourist restaurants along the sea front but if you are after a more authentic Canarian experience then go the Dedo de Dios. It will be packed with locals many having large family dinners. Agaete is not at all touristy. We have spent many pleasant evenings at the cafe at the central square watching the world go by. Activity wise the area is good for swimming, surfing and walking
  : Flaky WiFi DVD player would have been nice
