Julieta Torrentes & Mike King

Murph's Surf Shacks are physiically part of Hotel Julieta but under different management called on the job training for local university students seeking careers in hospitality management. Julieta is the focal point for both operations. The hotel was a private hotel until Mike was unable to continue leading worldwide trekking expeditions in 2016

Nice quiet barrio and safe.
