Timeline
17:00
Grab a quick bite or drink at the lively Mercado de San Fernando. The wide range of food and drink options lets you find something to taste while the light is still good.
17:30
Walk to La Tabacalera. Arrive just as the golden light hits the old tobacco factory’s outdoor terrace. It is a huge alternative art space driven by the diverse locals of Lavapies, and the terrace offers a nice view of the day ending.
18:30
Head to Café Ziryab Tablao Flamenco for an intimate evening of live flamenco. The daily shows start at 21:30, featuring first line artists in a cozy setting with nice drinks and tapas.
Local tip
Check the website for La Tabacalera's current situation, as it is hoped that the closure is temporary and that it will return in a reduced form after works.
