Beaches
Baños del Carmen
A faded-glamour 1920s bathhouse beach under giant ficus trees.
A romantic, slightly bohemian cove where a crumbling Belle Époque bathing pavilion meets the sea beneath enormous fig trees. The terrace bar is the city’s favourite sunset spot, with Gibralfaro framed across the bay. Pure local magic that few tourists find.
