★★★★★2 years agothere are few benches, and if there are any, it's high time they were sent to the dump. In some places it's well-kept

★★★★★Edited 4 years agoWant to spend a nice and warm afternoon? This is the place. Good restaurants with nice wine, good coffee and awesome food. Parents and Childrens running in the park ( precious family time). You can jogging, play football, eat something and if the day are sunny don't forget your sunscreen. Awesome view at the sea. Normally theirs a lots of people on weekend. Unfortunately very difficult to park here and It's not free charge.
