The village has been in existence for more than five hundred years as a sleepy hamlet. Now its white cobbled central square is flanked by low, red-roofed, painted cottages but the sounds of cutlery on plates, clinking glasses and the smells of fish sizzling over coals is becoming more evident. Striking new villas, just like Casa Mubranca, are starting to dot the hills and river estuary. The international jet set are starting to make this backwater their own, including the French designers Christian Louboutin, Philippe Starck, the German artist Anselm Kiefer, the British painter Jason Martin and the Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen. The beach is stunning so expect to see gorgeous dunes and fascinating wind-sculpted rocks on the beach together with thrilling waves.
