Timeline
18:04
Grab a bite at Mestizo. This fine dining spot and art gallery is just a two-minute walk from the Alhóndiga. Their atmosphere is great for settling in before the rush.
18:19
Walk to the Alhóndiga de Granaditas. The museum opens at 16:00 on weekdays, so you can slip inside to see the historical exhibits and the photographic library before the crowds arrive.
18:34
Stand outside the Alhóndiga as the sun sets toward the west. The golden light hits the building’s facade, casting long shadows and highlighting the texture of the stone. This is the moment the architecture comes alive.
18:54
End the evening at Truco 7. Located a nine-minute walk away, this Mexican restaurant serves excellent aguas frescas. Order the strawberry drink with cinnamon to wash down the day.
