Was sitting in a café and suddenly it felt like we were right on top of a train tunnel. Didn't get my mind to realise what it was until people started running outside and screaming. The locals were much more afraid than the tourists. But that was probably mostly due to the fact that us westerners don't know the dangers of earthquakes.

It was 10/15 seconds only. 
A big loud vibrating sound and everything was shaking in the house.
Just time to think and it was finished
After that, 2 times more in the afternoon , one very light and one medium if you comparate with the first one.
Nothing damage.
