The Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla is a focal point. Perched above the sea, this stunning structure offers views that are hard to beat. It’s a favorite photo spot for visitors, and rightly so.

Free time after the walking tour is a real boon. Instead of feeling rushed, you’re encouraged to explore at your own pace.
