Grab a coffee or a pastry to take with you. The café opens at 12:00, so it is ready for you an hour before sunset.

Walk to the park. Find a bench or a patch of manicured lawn facing southwest. The cliffs and flower gardens provide a quiet backdrop as you wait.
16:12
Watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the southwest. The golden light fades into the evening idyll of the valley.
16:57
Head back to the café for a warm drink or a digestif. It stays open until 21:00 on weekdays and Saturdays, giving you plenty of time to relax after dark.
Local tip
The park is peaceful and usually disturbed only by bird life. Bring a jacket as it gets chilly by the water after sunset.
