The road there is just over 2 km on winding roads following the edge of the mountain and it is incredibly beautiful. The second promenade is the Paseo de las Estrellas which runs along the sea, a fine marble promenade with stars in the ground in honor of the stars who have won awards at the Albir Film Festival.
