A. A day trip or one-night stay is sufficient if you only want to see the old town, but if you want to enjoy the seaside atmosphere and extend your trip to the nearby white villages or Jerez, a 2-night, 3-day trip is ideal.
Q. What are some things to be careful of when walking around town?
A. The old town has a very winding network of streets, making it easy to get lost. A map app like Google Maps is essential, but be careful of pickpockets who might take your smartphone out too much.
