The resort is divided into four distinct areas the most popular is the Levante where
the sun rises and is the lively holiday resort, the quaint old town and the all newly
refurbished Poniente where the sun sets plus the quieter family favourite beach resort of
La Cala Finestrat offering a more sedate beach holiday, yet only a bus ride into the
