I shared a flat with two other people near the sea, with two swimming pools and a tennis space, for only 200€!!! It was perfect! But a bit far away from my university.

Personal comments
Any bar in "el Barrio" because each one has its specificity. After 3am, the same for the bars on the port. A good sport club is the QUO.
