Explanada de España
Explanada d'Espanya
A seaside promenade paved with about 6.5 million red, white, and black marble tiles in a wave pattern, lined with four rows of palm trees. It is the city’s living room.
The Explanada de España, also known as the “Explorers’ Promenade,” stretches about 500 meters along the harbor. Its ground is laid with millions of three-color marble tiles forming rolling wave patterns, symbolizing the Mediterranean. Four rows of tall palm trees offer broad shade. Cafés, ice cream shops, and evening craft stalls line both sides, and on weekends bands often perform on the open-air stage. To the south, you can walk to the yacht marina and harbor path. To the north, it connects to Postiguet Beach. An evening stroll here is especially pleasant.
