3/5 - Okay

Not many tourists, that could be good or bad? Not many people speak English. Sign language is not always enough?!!
3/5 - Okay

Not too much to do, 3 or 4 days would be enough, and then move on to different island. We hired a car for a day and drove round the whole island. Very mountainous and beautiful scenery. Excellent restaurant on Plateau with live music ...Quintal da m
