    Third Monument

    Watch the monument transform. As golden light fades, the floodlights switch on, illuminating the ring and cross. This is the intended view: a crown of light at the gateway to Fernheim.

    Head to El Rincón for dinner. It is just one minute from the monument. The extensive menu is perfect for an evening meal, and if you are visiting on a Saturday night or Sunday lunch, they offer asado and buffet.
