The air is the cleanest I´ve ever inhaled. In every breath there is lots and lots of cold fresh air with just a hint of salty sea, grass and seaweed.

Sometimes, air humidity levels are so high (they often reach 100%) that when you breathe in, it doesn't feel as though you're actually breathing in air... just moistness.
