It is a town - not a city, of course, but the place which is the residence of 210,000 inhabitants might be considered as a town, doesn't it? The citizens eat and breed, give birth and die, bleat, bark and enjoy their life.
The noise and especially the smell is out of comments, so you should be a real wildlife admirer to stay there for some time. But if you are, this place is definitely worth to visit. As soon as you come here you will forget about everything, including the 2-3 hours of boring driving by the coastal road.
