What other mile long street can boast a 10th century castle sitting high on its ancient volcanic rock at one end and a Royal Palace - official residence to Her Majesty the Queen - at the other.
Eating out is easy - there is an abundance of restaurants of all nationalities on your doorstep and within an easy 5 - 10 minute walk.
