Its diverse neighborhoods cater to both holidaymakers and locals, offering a mix of nightlife, family-friendly settings, and authentic Spanish charm.

Best Time to Visit

Walk or use trains for easy access between neighborhoods and along the coast. Book restaurants in advance during peak months, and try traditional 'espeto' grilled sardines at a beachfront chiringuito.
