I use Google Maps' satellite view to find the locations and surroundings
of hotels and apartments where we plan to stay while traveling--before
making reservations. It extremely useful, especially for locations like
this
http://www.tropic-hotel-rivesaltes.federal-hotel.com/page_de_1.html,
which are actually located in an industrial park with a gigantic new-car
parking lot and a wind farm,

It was inexpensive and convenient, and we couldn't see the parking lot
or car-train or transport trucks through the trees, but it would have
been a surprise if we didn't know where it was located.
Is this the beach that was blocked? [Seis Salinas, Eivissa, España]
