Its large town square closed off from traffic, is a picture of serenity, with an abundance of bars and restaurants, nestled in the shade provided by the trees which line streets. Time seems to sit still at the famous Bar Costa, enjoying their delicious bocatas and cañas, while watching as the world slowly passes by.
