Timeline
15:43
Start with a late lunch at Sa Malica. This local favourite serves fresh seafood and is recommended by fishermen. It is open from 13:00 to 16:00 in the afternoon, so you will arrive with plenty of time to eat before the evening rush.
17:13
Walk up the stairs from the beach to the top of Sa Palomera. This big rock is the official beginning of the Costa Brava and divides the city bay in half. The viewpoint offers a clear view of the water as the day winds down.
17:43
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 17:43, painting the sky in golden light that has been building since 17:00. This is the perfect moment to take in the view from the top of the rock.
18:28
End your evening at Can Tirol. This cocktail bar sits directly across from Sa Palomera. It has no nearby traffic noise and provides panoramic views of the beaches, the rock, and the sea. It is open from 17:00 until 02:00.
Local tip
The stairs from the beach to the viewpoint at Sa Palomera are steep. Wear comfortable shoes and allow enough time to climb up before the sun goes down.
