Old Town at a Glance: Dalt Vila, La Marina & Botafoch
Dalt Vila is the walled citadel (UNESCO) with steep cobblestones, tiny plazas and candlelit terraces. Dining here is all about romance and heritage (e.g., 1742, Teatro Pereyra, La Cava, Il Dek).
Below the walls sits La Marina/Vara de Rey, a flat, lively grid perfect for tapas, aperitivo and post-dinner strolls.
Across the water, Marina Botafoch pairs skyline views of Dalt Vila with sleek, contemporary dining and nightlife energy (Lío, Zuma, Roto, IT). Many visitors search these as Old Town restaurants because they’re a short walk or 5–10-minute taxi from the walls and visually tied to the Old Town silhouette.
