This is where the local younger generation parties. Check their Facebook page for events. Nice city views and a very creative feel. Be vigilant in this part of town and do not walk around the corners on your own, especially at night time. Unfortunately some lurkers might try to ensure that you don't have too many nice things.

PE Classic. Come here on the early evening of a sunny day and sit on the deck close to the beach. Amazing scenery with some simple food choices and cold beers (typical "bar food"). Chilled vibe, no party atmosphere (most of the times).
