Located in Cornwall, southwest of England, Port isaac It is a small fishing village that has become one of the most cinematic places in the world. United Kingdom. Since the 80s, a dozen films and series have found perfect locations in this typical and small English town, which is now up-to-date thanks to the filming of Doc Martin a successful series of doctors that will soon have its Spanish version in Antena 3. In addition, a multitude of British celebrities such as the designer Llewelyn Bowen, the actress Julie Peasgood or the presenter Lorne spicer, spend long periods of relaxation in Port isaac.
In the XNUMXth century, the port of the town was in full swing and the arrival and departure of large ships loaded with coal, wood, stone and ceramics was common. Fishing was also essential for the town's economy and despite the fact that there are still some fishermen today, tourism has undoubtedly become the main source of income.
Most of the old historic center is dominated by XNUMXth- and XNUMXth-century country houses, some with listed and important architecture, built around narrow lanes and steep slopes from where you can take in spectacular views.
Do not forget that By Isaac It is fundamentally a place to rest, a place away from the madding crowd where to spend a few days at the beach, hiking, good gastronomy (as far as possible, this is still England) and a lot of tranquility. For surfers, just 7 kilometers from Port isaac is the beach of Polzeath, ideal for the practice of this sport. A little further, about 10 kilometers, another beautiful beach, daymer bay, where by the way, access to dogs is allowed, in case you want to go for a walk with the pooch.
I really like For Isaac, for the Doc Martin series, of which I am very fanatic.
