We took a pleasant walk along the seafront where there were numerous shops and restaurants and just behind this was a small seafood market. We sampled a variety of tacos at a small corner restaurant before continuing our walk along some of the streets inland from the seafront. Returning to the seafront we then had some snacks and cocktails at a seafront bar/cafe and served by the very friendly and amusing Mexican owner.
