The house is not by or on the beach, its 10-15 min walking down and 20-25 min back up the hill, the area playa del hombre has no shops, 2 local restaurants near the beach with a small outside sit.
A supermarket by the highway or in town Telde are grocery stores and better restaurants , taxi cost 3-6 euro. Playa de melenara has several restaurants and locals live there the beach/boulevard life.
The house (yes you can see the sea at the horizont) is functional from the 60,s , looks partly like a scandinavian cabin/shelter , with a great outside terrace with palmtrees and plants.
Good for sunbathing (but flies) and bbq etc , aldo people passing by can look inside.
Its not only sunshine , a unstable internet witch the owner closes down from 22.00 to 09.00 or later as he forget to put it on.
I think he closes the tv (mostly spanish and german) to.
Flies are everywhere due to community garbage/glass containers just outside the property, the noise of glass at night together with passing traffic especialy the early garbage/glass truck early in the morning, some flighttraffic noise, slamming doors, bobling/smell of the kitchendrain , but otherwise is the area quiet.
Beside flying flies are ants marching from wall or outside in as soon they get a change , so rap/pack and clean obj.
Some cockroaches and biles observed proparly by inflight, not in kitchen/bath.
The water from the spring is not drinkable, so bottles or boiling, the drainage in the kitchen is very slow and bobling/smells in periods...
There has been no cleaning in this 3 weeks, there is no real equipment for cleaning beside a wiperbrush, aldo there is a good washingmachine and hang-up lines in the backyard.
Many spiderwebs are older than that ;-)
og landlig er det sikkert ikkje !
