Sadly the city and surrounding area including parks, streets and the beach area are covered in litter. I was so disappointed I really couldn’t enjoy the city as all I could see was plastic bottles...

There is some fantastic architecture around as you walk through the old parts of the city, and don't forget to look up as you go along, there are some quite interesting things to be seen higher up
