The city tourism office describes a walking route that climbs from the sea to the cathedral through the old streets. It passes Plaça Major, the squares around Carrer de Sant Miquel, Plaça de Cort, Plaça de Santa Eulàlia, Carrer de Monti-Sion and Carrer de la Portella, where several historic mansions stand. The route is easy to lose, so a loose plan and a map are enough.
What to look for
- Plaça de Cort and its old olive tree
- Carrer de Monti-Sion and Plaça de Santa Eulàlia
- Historic mansions on Carrer de la Portella
- Plaça Major and the streets beside it
Opening hours

Getting there
Tip
Walk it in the morning or late afternoon and keep your eyes on the doorways, because many houses hide a courtyard behind a heavy wooden door.
