Walk to La pomnicos da pipas to watch the sun dip toward the WSW. The public art installation sits on a ridge, giving you a clear, elevated view of the horizon before the sky turns dark.

Head down to Snackbar a Pipa for dinner. This is the most popular spot in town for a reason. The kitchen serves extremely fresh fish caught that day, and the place is always busy with locals. The €30 cover for two includes mains and drinks, making it a solid value after a long day.
