Old Town Getting There - Photos The Almunecar Old Town or Casco Antiguo is full of winding streets and quaint alleys. The area is closed off to cars and allows only foot traffic which makes it very safe for shopping and walking. Here you will find high to mid end women's fashions, Moroccan furnishings and crafts, shoe stores, linens, home furnishings, jewelry, children's clothing, souvenir shops and much more.

Old Town

The shop keepers in Almunecar definitely enjoy their siesta. Most stores open around 10:00 am and close for siesta around 2:00. Afternoon hours are generally from 5:00 or 6:00 until around 8:00. In the summer months most shops stay open until 9:00 or 10:00. You will find the area bustling with shoppers in the mid morning hours and again at night.

There is also a row of internet cafés for those who need to get in touch with family and friends back home. Some are quieter than others, but all of them have the necessities such as fax, phone, internet, business needs, etc. Others focus on video games for the kids.

A stroll through the old town isn't complete without a good Spanish meal at one of the restaurants and bars found here. There are also a few small plazas where you can relax outside while grabbing a quick bite to eat. In the evenings head over to the new promenade just on the outside of the old town; it is packed with bars, ice cream shops, restaurants and night clubs and is just a short walk to the San Cristobal Penon.
