Timeline
17:14
Grab a table on the balcony at El Balcón. The 2-for-1 cocktail special runs from 18:00 to 21:00, so you will catch the start of it. Order the set menu and watch the light begin to fade over the city.
17:49
Walk down to Playas de Marbella. The beach faces WSW, aligning with the sunset direction. Stand by the water as the sun dips below the horizon.
18:29
Head to Otro Mundo for dinner. This Italian-Croatian spot stays open late, so you can enjoy pasta or cevapcici well after dark.
19:14
End the night with a drink at Zorba Wiskeria. This local corner bar is right next door to a pizzeria and offers a quiet spot to finish the evening.
Local tip
El Balcón’s balcony seating is small and fills up quickly. Arrive early to secure a view. Check the route from the beach to the restaurant, as the streets can be tricky to navigate in the dark.
