A hotel for this period should better be booked in advance as many local hotels raise prices for rooms.
2. The resort area should better be cruised and explored on foot as a major part of entertainment establishments, landmarks and sites as well as hotels are located in close vicinity to each other. Tourists can get to some districts of the city by bus or by special tourist train which runs through seaside as well.
3. Local restaurants and cafes feature rather affordable pricing policy. Numerous eating houses are located in every street of the resort. Huge sizing of paella will cost in most of the restaurants about 10 Euro. A jar of sangria, a popular ethnic drink, will cost the same.

6. The optimum way to pay for goods and meals in shops and restaurants is national currency which can be exchanged in any of the local banks. Foreign currency is rarely accepted and an exchange rate in this case will be rather unprofitable. For reasons of safety tourists are recommended to exchange currency only in official financial institutions denying all private services offered by strangers in the streets no matter how profitable an offer may seem.
7. Tips are welcome for any service rendered on the resort being a sign of good courtesy. A restaurant waiter and a taxi driver are looking to get a 5-10% cash reward meanwhile a guide and a hotel maid will be enough of 0.5-1 Euro reward.
