Start at Britannia Pub for a microbrewed beer and a chicken platter. It is a popular hangout for locals and foreigners, and the atmosphere is lively before the evening crowds arrive.

Walk 48 minutes WNW from the pub area to La Victoria Alada. This public art piece commemorates the Comuneros uprising. Arrive early to find a good spot on the steps or nearby pavement as the golden light begins to fade.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The fading light highlights the details of the monument representing Jose de Antequera y Castro and the struggle for freedom. Stay for the full sunset at 19:45.

End the evening at Bar San Roque, one of the oldest restaurants in town. It is a short walk away and offers excellent food and service in a traditional atmosphere. Order a fantastic beer on tap served in their chilled Oktoberfest steins.
