Creator's Key Takeaways

I always prefer ports where you dock centrally and can simply set off on your own.

It's quite a long walk up to this and it's very isolated.

The city was now starting to come alive. Lots of people around us and a bit of a buzz starting.

It turned out to be a great way to finish my first ever day in the country.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit the Macado del Puto market for local food and gifts if short on time.
Wear comfortable shoes for walking and take breaks at squares in the heat.
