Grab a coffee and settle in at Café Los Cuiles. It is a short walk from the photo center and offers a friendly atmosphere with free Wi-Fi. Try the Café Oaxaqueña, a slightly sweet drink with cinnamon that is perfect for relaxing before the main event.

Centro Fotográfico Álvarez Bravo
Walk to the Centro Fotográfico Álvarez Bravo. Arrive just in time to find a spot with a view of the sky. The colonial building is beautifully restored and hosts changing exhibits, but the evening light outside is the real draw. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow on the area.
