It is an operating cinema if you up for watching movies, but we like it for a slightly different reason.
It is also a time travel back to the 50's, with movie memorabilia on display and a very nice restaurant, Coco, what is unmissable if you are travelling to the Miramar peninsula.

Consejos para la ciudad
Qué debes empacar
Well, do not bother with umbrellas
as when its rainy, its usually windy too, and the wind is really strong, so your umbrella will fly away pretty quickly ;)
Qué debes empacar
sun cream
"You can not beat Wellington on a sunny day" - they say, but the sun can be really strong, so a sun cream is recommended very much!
