    Stay for the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the historic stone structure. This is the perfect moment to watch the day end.

    Restaurante Gredos

    Walk into the old town to Restaurante Gredos. It sits right on the plaza and offers outdoor seating, making it a natural next stop after your walk. Enjoy a Spanish dinner in the evening air.

    El Rincón de Amador

    Finish the night with a drink at El Rincón de Amador. This gastropub serves local cuisine and is a short walk from the plaza, perfect for winding down after dinner.

Local tip

The park near the aqueduct is the best place to see the structure clearly. Once the sun sets, the area becomes darker, so head to the plaza for your meal.

Check before you go

  • Restaurante Gredos is located on the plaza; check if outdoor seating is available if you prefer fresh air.
  • El Rincón de Amador is a gastropub, so it is open for evening drinks and dinner.
