Start at Tabacos Soul Anexo. It is a short walk from the anchor and plays rock music. Order a mixed drink in a pitcher to share. The atmosphere is social and the drinks are cheap.
17:34
Walk 22 minutes WSW to Parque Simón Bolívar. This is the city's favourite lovers' hangout. Find a spot near the grass (do not step on it) to watch the street performances and the crowd. The park is oriented WSW, which aligns with the sunset direction.
19:04
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. In January the sun sets at 19:04, in April at 18:10, in July at 17:59, and in October at 18:22. The golden light begins roughly 30 minutes before these times.
19:49
End the evening at Patio de Comidas, an outdoor cooked food center inside the park. It is frequented by locals and offers very cheap meat and pizza options. Do not ask about the vegetarian options, just eat.
Local tip
The walk from Tabacos Soul Anexo to the park is 13 minutes, but allow extra time if you linger over drinks. Parque Simón Bolívar is a 22-minute walk from the anchor; ensure you have time to stroll through the streets to reach it comfortably before the golden hour.
