The old town starts at the Portal Vell, a former gateway in the city wall, and follows Calle Salamanca to the Portal Nou. The tourist office describes it with white façades, shades of blue and bougainvillea, and it has viewpoints along the way, such as the Glorieta del Maño. Climb up to the square of the church and go on foot: it is a route of slopes.
