Estación Central del Ferrocarril
Start at the Estación Central del Ferrocarril. It is free to enter and open during the day. Admire the building itself and the old steam wagons. It is quietest in the morning, so this is the ideal time to explore before the heat and crowds build.

Walk four minutes to Bar San Roque. It is one of the oldest restaurants in town and open all day. Grab a seat in the traditional atmosphere and order a fantastic beer on tap served in their chilled Oktoberfest steins, or try their mix of traditional and fine cuisine for a solid lunch.

Walk eleven minutes to La Victoria Alada. This public art piece represents the struggle of the Comuneros led by Jose de Antequera y Castro in 1723. It is a brief, pleasant stop to appreciate the local history before heading back.
