I’ve been there quite a few times and hope to return in the future. Lazy little town. Not in the sense that the people are lazy, but in the sense that it is kind of slow-paced and leisurely—not frantic and driven the way many cities in the US are.

Great shopping, especially for pottery, furniture, metalworks, and other handmade goods. Great restaurants.

Lots of social unrest at the moment, though, which is tragic because the people who live there are very sweet and hospitable and are caught in the middle of a horrific situation.
