THE AREA SURROUNDING THE EL CARMEN I APARTMENT.

Turning the corner at the end of the road just a five second walk from the door of the El Carmen I apartment, you will be struck by the awesome sight of the eight storey high Quart Towers, ancient gates to the city.

You will immediately realize that you are in the heart of the Old Town where you will encounter a huge variety of bars, tapas and restaurants, some examples being "La Pizca de Sal" (Plaza Santa Ursula, just where you will arrive to at the end of your street), La Taberna de Marisa (Calle Caballeros / Plaza de San Jaime), "La Sidreria - El Molinon" (Calle Bolseria), "Santa Campana" (Calle Roteros), "Seu Xerea" (Calle Conde de Almodóvar), "Espai Visor Vegeterian" (Calle Corregeria).

From the Quart Towers, you will enjoy arriving at any point in the historic centre in a maximum twenty minute walk and sites like the Cathedral, Lonja, and Serranos Towers are even closer at just ten minutes. Well worth a visit especially as it is located just five minutes walk away (following the road straight under the Quart Towers and continuing straight ahead), is the fascinating Botanical Garden where you can enjoy a very agreeable stroll.

To stock up your fully equipped kitchen with produce to prepare your meals you have the beautiful and lively Central Market just a five minute walk away, or alternatively you have a couple of supermarkets just a two minute walk away from the door of your apartment on Calle Pintor Zariñena.
