Timeline

  1. 17:18

    Heladeria El Puerto

    Grab an ice cream from Heladeria El Puerto. It is open until 20:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun goes down. Enjoy it while walking toward the center.

  2. 18:03

    Plaza de La Bandera

    Arrive at Plaza de La Bandera. Find a spot where you can see the stone eagle sculpture. The sun sets toward the WSW, which aligns with the open space of the roundabout. The golden light hits the stone and the flagpole beautifully in the last half hour before sunset.

  3. 18:48

    restaurante

    End the evening at the nearby bar. It is a good spot to unwind after the walk. Check the opening hours to ensure it is still open for your late evening finish.

Local tip

The ice cream shop is a short walk from the plaza. The bar is also very close, making this a very easy, flat walk with no heavy lifting or long treks.

Check before you go

  • Heladeria El Puerto closes at 20:00. On January 15, sunset is at 18:33, so you will finish well before closing.
  • The bar's hours are listed as 'desc' in the data. Please verify its opening time on the day you visit to avoid disappointment.
