Grab a chocolate con churros to keep your hands warm and energy up. Chocolatería San Ginés is open 24/7, so you can stop here anytime before the main event.
17:42
Walk to Cine Doré. Arrive with time to spare. Check the schedule for evening screenings, but your main goal is to find a seat or standing spot on the roof terrace if the weather permits. The cinema is open until 23:55.
18:12
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light from 17:30 will have just faded, leaving a soft afterglow over the city as seen from this 1920s theatre roof.
Local tip
The roof screenings are a summertime feature, but even in winter, the building’s historic charm makes for a memorable backdrop. If the roof is closed, the main auditorium still offers a unique cinematic atmosphere.
