Grab a pintxo at Iturrioz. It opens at 08:00, so it is well open by late afternoon. Order the bocadillo or a cold pintxo to tide you over.
20:05
Walk 40 minutes west-northwest to The Comb of the Wind. The sculptures are arranged by Eduardo Chillida. Arrive early to find a good spot on the hillside.
20:50
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WNW, aligning perfectly with the Comb of the Wind sculptures. The golden light from 20:12 will give the steel structures a warm glow before the sky turns blue.
21:20
End the evening with a drink or late pintxo at Rojo Y Negro. It is a little out of the old town, popular with locals, and perfect for digesting your earlier snack while watching the city lights come on.
