Thank you for your thorough reply. From your statement and what I've read, it seems the flight is well worth it.

Follow up question. There's a debate between our group. We're looking at a 5 night trip and where to stay has been stay in a more vacation rental home with a pool a little removed from the town, or stay on Flemenco beach? I think flemenco is a big draw for some in our party, but I get the feeling that it is a main attraction for those visiting the area and would be quite busy for our stay. When you stay on the island do you tend to look for more exclusive lodging?

Thanks for all your help
