It is call like that because the sun that decorated the gateaway was put for

In the photo we can see in the foreground on the right the “Puerta del Sol” in the past was “Casa de Correos” and Home Office at the present is city council..

In the background you can see the most legendary advertising of wine “ Tío Pepe”, in the left hand corner there is the statue of Carlos III was King in the century XVIII.

Further there are more streets and buildings and in the left hand corner at he bottom pasan public bus.

In the area there is a important cafery-cake shop that until are opened call “La Mallorquina” and in the street there are peculiar ladies sold lotery all the year.

The time of the year most beautiful to come and visit it , is at Christmas when the town are decorate with spectaculars lights.
