Beware of the smell from the donkeys if it’s a warm day on the long walk down to the Old Port.
The way down is not that safe, as the old steps are sometimes slippery. There is also a "service" of going up or down by donkey or horse, and you can stumble on them while descending - my wife got hit by another person's leg, and had to squeeze through a wall and the horse no avoid a harder hit. As one can imagine, with horses comes their faeces along the way.
Lombranos fish restaurant is amazing-fresh and family owned. Very friendly & accommodating. Fresh fish is cooked simply and deliciously! Cable car is great fun too.
