Description

This old fisherman's quarter is by the beach, to the south of the zoo and on the other side of the Estación de Francia railway station. It was built in the mid-1700s with straight, narrow streets and still retains the village atmosphere. In summer the place is full with beach crazy people. It's worth visiting at other times too due to its characteristic charm and the plethora of fish restaurants. The Sant Joan festivities (23rd June) are celebrated with fervor here, with bonfires and devils that dance to the rhythm of a traditional music and fireworks until dawn.
