A good alternative for shopping is clearly the promenade and its surroundings. In fact, this area has some very popular craft stalls among tourists, along with all kinds of stores and beach bars where you can window shop and refresh yourself.
The best thing about this promenade is the variety of shops, where beach stalls give way to fashionable clothes shops and well-known designer stores.
