Grab a fruit drink and some vegan snacks at Coco Calala. The outdoor seating is pleasant, and it is a good spot to start the evening before the crowds arrive. Check that it is open, as hours are 08:00-21:00.
16:31
Walk to Central Park. It is lively with families and vendors. Sit by the fountain and watch the light change as the sun begins its descent. The park is packed with people, so find a quiet corner among the shady trees.
17:11
Move to the Park of the Poets. This is the right spot for the moment. The park honors five poets, and the open space offers clear views of the western sky. Arrive early enough to claim a good spot among the monuments.
18:11
After the sun dips below the horizon, head to El Sesteo. It has a great location with views of the cathedral and serves a diverse menu. It is open until 22:00, so you can stay for dinner or a late drink.
