Easy walk around to see all the cool Spanish architecture. The national Plaza is huge and we got to see the flag being wrapped up for the night. So many old buildings and cobbled walkways.

Not the same as a historical centre in europe! quite modern but interesting enough. There a few better attractions than you will find here.
