Conseils sur la ville

Déplacements

Tourist Train “el trenecito”

Route: Playa Arenal Beach (Plaza Colón) - Playa Levante - Casco antiguo (old town) - back to Playa Arenal Beach/Plaza Colón (during high season only). It functions as hop-on/hop-off for the same day. The tourism office has a seasonal location there as well.
Ne manquez pas

The arrival of the fishing boats at the port in afternoon

A great way to enjoy the day is to have a meal at the fishing port, take a walk along the Playa de Levante, and return to the fishing port to see the fishing boats deliver the catch of the day. The fish sale can also be visited and fresh fish is available for sale.
Coutumes et culture

Meals in Spain are later and longer than in rest of Europe

Lunch can range from 1:30pm-4pm and the after-lunch rest break is almost sacred // Dinner can start as late as 9pm // The mid-morning snack “almuerzo” is key to the meals custom and coffee shops and bars offering food can be full all morning! :) // Lunches tend to be the heavier meal // It is common to have a lighter dinner at home such as a grilled meat or fish or eggs and salad or go out for a pizza in the evening. // Rice meals are for lunch only!
Manières de faire des économises

There are plenty of supermarkets

We recommend the MyMercat Sol y Mar on Avenida Gabriel Miró for a varied selection and good service.
Voyage avec des enfants

There are water fountains at the beaches to rinse off

They are located by the walkways. There are also first aid stations. // sunhats and sunscreen are of course recommended 😎

Thank your local team

It is a very appreciated gesture to leave a thank you note or thank you card for your local hosts (the cleaning crew especially appreciate the ‘connection’ as they work “behind the scenes”)
