From here the pedestrian area spreads west into Ranilla , a quaint old fishing quarter and east along the seafront and through the town's shopping district, to a charmless jumble of high-rise hotels, bars, discos and international restaurants at the eastern end of town. While the centre of town is always a pleasant place for strolling aimlessly, there are actually few real sights here - Puerto's main attractions are its beaches , lido and the nearby Loro Parque zoo.
