It is really worth a stroll around the old town. We parked down the hill, approaching the beach, and walked back up the hill to Carrer de Coloñ and walked it’s length. Then we headed headed back to the sea and discovered the quaintest old town. A walk along the beach and lunch at Taberna El Posit made this a remarkable day during a day of non-remarkable Spanish weather
