Start with a drink at La Casa de Becho. This spot is steeped in musical history, where Gerardo Matos Rodriguez wrote "La Cumparsita" over a century ago. It is the perfect place to listen to candombe music and settle in before the walk.
19:14
Walk up to Castillo Soneira. This 19th-century Neo-Gothic residence offers a striking silhouette against the sky. Arrive just as the golden hour begins to see the building catch the last rays of the sun.
19:39
Head to Parque de Anfiteatro de Antel. This large park provides a spacious, open view of the area as the light fades. It is a calm place to watch the transition from day to night.
20:09
Return to La Casa de Becho for the evening. The atmosphere shifts as night falls, making it an ideal spot for a drink after dark.
Local tip
The walk from the drink spot to the castle takes about 12 minutes. The return trip is similar. Keep the pace leisurely to enjoy the changing light.
