Visited Storiel for a photography exibition and enjoyed looking around the gallery at the photos and other exhibitions. The shop was well stocked with a variety of gifts to buy and many local crafts. Went to the cafe afterwards and had a lovely tuna melt on brown bread with a latte. Both myself and my friend enjoyed the experience very much.
