Casco Vella: backstreets
Once you've seen the three main squares of the Casco Vella and emerged on the busy main road at the back, you might think that you've seen all of the old centre. But take some time to explore the backstreets...it's much larger than it seems at first. The streets around Praza da Constitucion have been restored and given a lick of paint, and now house many restaurants, bars and upmarket shops. There are still a few derelict buildings awaiting redevelopment though, as my photos show.
