Running

• It’s safe to run if you want. We recommend going very early in the morning or in the afternoon in areas such as: Castillogrande Bay, Centro, around Bocagrande.

• If you want to run on the beach, go early because in the afternoon there are more tourists and you will not have enough space to run.
