Never far from the sea or river its narrow streets add to the aura of mystery and charm which has made this coastline renowned as a smuggler's retreat. Its gentle climate and sheltered position offer a chance to peacefully browse - through the old town or the vibrant and colourful life of the still active fishing harbour.
