Timeline
16:06
Grab a burger or breakfast-style meal at Super Cream. It is open until 21:00, so you have plenty of time before the golden light begins.
17:06
Walk seven minutes to Plaza Hijas de Tampico. This park is just south of the Cathedral, giving you a clear view of the neoclassical facade as the sun begins to dip toward the WSW.
17:36
Stand in the Plaza de Armas at the Cathedral of Tampico. Watch the golden light hit the stone as the sun sets in the west. The cathedral is the anchor, so you are already at the center of the moment.
18:21
End the night at La Caverna, a pub just six minutes away. It is a reliable spot for decent beer and a relaxed atmosphere after the walk.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW in January. Position yourself between the Cathedral and the west to catch the best light. La Caverna has no listed hours, so check the route or ask locally for opening times.
