The air quality can be good but the locals burn everything from garbage to dead animals so if you are downwind, beware. In the interior, the air can be very good but also very hot and humid in some places. - Apr 2014

Good. Sea breezes all the time. Some trash burning, but normally blown away quickly. - Mar 2012
