We decided to explore some of the old town today. There are sets of steps everywhere as it is built into the hillside. They are known locally as 'ramps'.
This little square is a sun trap with oranges fruiting by the wall of the old Moorish Castle.
There are some lovely unexpected gardens wherever there is space. The Moorish style tiling sets them off and many entrance doorways have similar tiles.
This escalator seemed quite incongruous and was not working. It was paid for with money from the EU. It is a good idea in principle as climbing the ramps is very tiring, especially when carrying bags.
One of the best sections of our wanderings.
Many of the older buildings have ornate window and door ironwork. There are motor scooters everywhere as the roads are so narrow and parking is very limited.
The aerial footbridge was just about complete.
