Walk the award-winning marina for the architecture and boat-spotting before the dinner rush hits. The main vibe is the circular artificial islands and the sea life center. Skip the overpriced waterfront cafes and head to the backstreets for authentic tapas. If the crowds get too loud, grab the $17 ferry to Fuengirola for a 60-minute scenic coastal escape. Sunset here is the only time it feels chill; otherwise, expect high energy and heavy foot traffic.
