It was nice to sit at the observatory and watch the beach.I think it was even more special because I went with friends.If you are going up from the coastal road, be careful on the Stairway to Heaven... It would be safer to take the uphill road towards the village.

Climb up some stairs and you can have a nice view of the city. It is free, and washrooms are available.
