A waterfront resort town on the northern Mediterranean
not a lovely beach

The shops line the beachfront road.

Parking is limited in the city center.
You might find an apartment to rent for a longer stay.

 

Even dock space is limited.
Streets leading away from the waterfront are narrow.

There are churches,

And there are restaurants.

The central square is  off of the waterfront. The ceiling of the band stand is worthy of a cathedral.

The boat launch ramp still had its Christmas decorations. I could not figure out if it was for a hop scotch game. I was not the only one trying to figure out how it works.

hop scotch anyone?
