Timeline

  1. 18:19

    Can Tirol

    Grab a drink at Can Tirol. It sits across from the rock of Sa Palomera, offering panoramic views of the beaches and the sea without nearby traffic. It is the perfect spot to settle in before the main event.

  2. 18:49

    Gothic Fountain

    Walk 150 meters from the Passeig Cortils i Vieta to the Gothic Fountain. This 15th-century monument was built to supply drinking water during pandemics. Since conservation works in 2006, the water no longer runs, but the structure remains a central landmark.

  3. 19:04

    Marimurtra Botanical Garden

    Head to Marimurtra Botanical Garden. From this vantage point, 856 meters away, the sun sets directly behind the Gothic Fountain. Arrive early enough to find a good spot among the 16 hectares of Mediterranean flora.

  4. 19:34

    Sa Lola

    End the evening at Sa Lola. This gastronomic bar near the beach serves sophisticated tapas, including famous spherical olives and bursting mozzarella. It is a lively place to digest the view and the moment.
