Tourists come to this part of the Costa Blanca because of the alluring atmosphere of this fishing port. There's a charm to simply sitting over a coffee watching the fishing boats. Markets, each week, have the best of local produce available. There's history aplenty both in town and the hills around, which means walkers will find something of interest around every corner.
