Baesippo Port, that was the name of the Roman port that was sited here.
They were also famous for the fishing and the Salted fish.
Later when the Moors came it became Barbat, where the actual name comes from.

Once you walk inside the city you can walk to the old port, well what is left of it, really. Hope one day they can restore, as we founded lots of rubbish over there.

This is Plaza de la Inmaculada, in the city center.
At one side is the town hall and on the other side the church.

On the Plaza Inmaculada, just in a corner we founded the Iglesia Parroquial de San Paulino, I love towers, so I could not stop making photos of it. It was closed by the time we passed as it was the 1st of January.

Not many but we founded a few squares with nice vegetation, gardens always make a city look nicer at least in my opinion. The one at the town hall was nice with different styles of Palms.

The modern port is at the other side of the city in direction to Trafalgar or Conil. We did this photo from the top of the road when we were already at the Natural Park of Breña

Interesting. The Franco was dropped in 1998 officially. This year the street signs are being changed . No more Generalissimo street. Just Avenida del Mar. | jenniferchin Tue Nov 16, 2004 10:26 UTC
