It is a quite sea resort with loads of cafes and bars. There is a Ferry service that can take you out to La Manga
A flat walk , the first 2km are down by the sea front. Then you come to the airport pilots “marine club” which the path flows around for about 50m meters, then back to sea front for final 2km, where you partly share the promenade with traffic. Then the traffic gets diverted and it is solely a walkers domain (bliss).
The sea front views in Ribera are superb ,as it contains boats and yachts in the background.
Santiago De La Ribera is home to a Spanish military air base.
There are plenty of sites and indicators of this in the local area
