If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life whilst enjoying a glass or two of wine or beer, or even just a delicious hot chocolate then this is the place to go. As you wander through the streets look closely at the buildings surrounding you as many of the are from medieval times, whilst a few even come from when the Roman\u2019s were in occupation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Feast_On_Some_Amazing_Mediterranean_Dishes\"><\/span>3.
