Among the narrow cobbled streets in Baix la Mar quarter arise humble low-rise houses, painted in all colors, with black bars, decorated with plants and flowers, here the air of tranquility and stillness of yesteryear still breathing rise. It is a real pleasure to get lost in its streets that conserve the typical Mediterranean air, discovering nooks and charming squares. In Plaza Sant Antoni  and Plaza de la Creu you will find a cross that is the one that gives its name to the square and a devotional ceiling of XVIII century.
It is a lovely place to enjoy the terraces, bars, restaurants with a wide gastronomic selection.The part of the neighborhood overlooking the sea it is also a nice walking area and terraces with great atmosphere.
