Timeline
07:50
Grab a coffee and a pastry at Café Ziryab Tablao Flamenco. It is open early enough for a pre-dawn start, and the intimate ambiance is perfect for waking up before the city stirs.
08:36
Walk to Puente de Toledo. You will be standing on the bridge as the sun rises in the WSW direction, casting a soft golden light over the Manzanares River and the Baroque stone arches. It is the quietest time of day here.
09:21
Head to Museo del Jamón for a late breakfast or early lunch. The tapas bar is open from 08:00, so you can enjoy some local flavors just after the sunrise moment has passed.
Local tip
The walk from the café to the bridge takes about 14 minutes. The bridge faces WSW, aligning perfectly with the sunrise on January 15.
