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?
