On stepping out of the apartment we find ourselves in a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets taking us through the history of the Arabic quarter between itīs houses and monuments: the Cathedral de la Incarnation, Wamba fountain ,the castle……. Lost amongst itīs architecture and alleyways we soon refind ourselves on the path into the impressive gorge with itīs old mills, river and nature in all itīs splendour.

The main town centre with itīs modern amenities is a 5 minute walk away, banks, shops ,restaurants and numerous bars offering a selection of good wines and drinks served with their delicious complimentary tapas that vary with the proud culinary touch of each bar.
