Avanti Air

Advantages: Great sights, lovely weather, fantastic location
Disadvantages: None

..., with the remaining shops getting ready to open up, and also more activities such as boat hire and water sports, a small train and horse and cart rides. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, such as the tapas bars (serving mainly small snacks and drinks), chinese restaurants, italian, spanish, and then of course plenty of Engliesh and Irish bars and eateries. The restaurant that was a particular favourate of our was 'Avanti', situated next to the harbour on the right hand side. Plenty of places to walk, whether you want to walk to the nearby village of San Xrogiuer; around the craggy coastline watching the boats and feeding the seagulls; or around the harbour adminiring the fabulous boats and looking at the fish, eels and ducks. Cala N Bosch beach is fairly small, however beautiful and clean. Lots of live music in the evenings at the bars... Read review

There is a treadmill, 2 bikes, variety... Read review

Disadvantages: Quite cramped

...I first went to this restaurant with a mentor from university along with the other students that were being mentored. I liked it so much that I asked my parents to take me again. We have since been on several occasions the most recent being for my 18th Birthday. My mam, dad, my best friend Emma and I, met my older sister, Joanne and her husband Craig, at Avanti on Friday night. We booked a table for 7pm ready for my birthday celebration! Joanne and Craig arrived a little earlier than us (6.40pm) and were already at our table when we arrived.
