Timeline
16:59
Eat tapas at El Rinconcillo. This is the oldest tavern in Seville, so arrive early to secure a spot and watch the bartenders write your bill on the bar with chalk. Try the Espinacas con Garbanzos or Salmorejo.
17:59
Walk to the Metropol Parasol. Head up to the top level to find your spot. The structure offers some of the best views of the city as the light begins to fade.
18:29
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW. The golden light starts about 39 minutes before this moment, so you will have a warm glow leading into the final colors.
19:14
End the evening at Cafe-Bar Las Teresas. This lively tapas bar is open until midnight, making it a perfect spot to stay and chat after the sun goes down. Be prepared for a mix of tourists and locals.
