Restaurants are everywhere in El Centro as well as endless shops and varied markets, including the authentic Central Mercado. The Malecon (the beautiful updated oceanfront walkway) has recently been extended from beyond Playa Madera all the way to Playa Principal featuring memorable scenery and numerous oceanfront restaurants. The fisherman's walk on Playa Principal is where the fishermen bring in the "catch of the day" offered fresh for sale. The pier offers water taxi service to Las Gatas Beach across the bay, with still more restaurants, a clear water reef suitable for snorkeling, and an isolated and beautiful setting for relaxation and abundant sunshine. The condo itself offers splendid access to the favored and very clean mile-long golden sand beach, Playa la Ropa.
