Nothing or Everything!

You can relax, with a glass of wine and some tapas or paella, outside the many bars and restaurants. If you are self catering, buy fresh local, traditional food to cook.

Just take it easy!

Nothing more to be said, really.
You can shop in the regular street markets, which sell fresh fruit and vegetables, crafts ware, jewellery and leather goods at a fraction of the price at home.

Sunbathe & Swim

You will have some difficulty choosing just where to settle. There are so many beautiful beaches.
