Beautiful Beaches
Nice beaches in the neighborhood of Villadaro
Our favorite beach!
It’s in a bay and has beautiful views and nice restaurants.
We also go here for our morning walk, as most Spanish do. Just below the hotel ‘Hostal Gavina’ a paved pathway starts which allows you to walk alongside the coast. Must do!

Massana Restaurant
10 Carrer Bonastruc de Porta1⭐️ michelin restaurant - on my wishlist
Lovely Asian fusion restaurant. Very tasty dishes! See the langoustine on the picture. There is a tasting menu (65 eur p/p - 12 courses) and an a la carte option. We (2 persons) chose 5 dishes from the a la carte menu..which turned out to be too much. So I would recommend for 2 persons in total 3 or 4 dishes max so you will leave some room for the delicious looking desserts.
