Tips
Use it as the starting point or finishing point for a walking route through the historic centre and the Palmeral. In summer, it’s most enjoyable early in the morning or towards sunset. As in much of Spain, opening hours at nearby sights can vary around the midday break, so it’s worth checking ahead if you’re combining several stops. Tipping isn’t relevant here, but if you stop at a nearby café or restaurant, service is usually included and rounding up is common rather than leaving a large tip.
