Enough of that rubbish!, The sea front is well worth a visit, but best of all there is excellent shopping and really good prices as the town has not hit the dizzy heights of Barcelona in popularity.

This is a gem of a Spanish town which draws us back time and time again. (We even went there on a huge cruise ship in 2009)
