I like to visit Barranco during the day. The atmosphere is beautiful and there are lots of places to take lovely pictures. At night it gets too wild for me, but I've been told its a great place to grab a drink and listen to live music. More

We liked the small quiet neighborhood, Tostaduria Bisetti coffee shop (Castilla and Pedro de Osma streets) Pedro de Osma Museum Tour, El Roble/Javier/Istanbul Kabob House/Dedalo cafe restaurants.

This is a great, hipstery part of town with lots of outdoor bars and restaurants. The scene is great and the scenery is fantastic, as many of the bars and restaurants have amazing views of the cliffs and the sea beyond. Lots of fun! More
