Timeline

  1. 16:28

    Zest

    Start with a late lunch at Zest. The vegan menu is creative and the location beside the Campuhan valley is peaceful. It opens at 07:30 so you have plenty of time to eat before the sun starts to dip.

    Blanco Renaissance Museum

    Walk to the Blanco Renaissance Museum. The Spanish artist Antonio Blanco’s former home is now a museum filled with his bizarre and interesting work. Wander through the garden to spot exotic birds and visit the family temple. The museum closes at 18:00, so you will have time to explore before the moment arrives.

    Blanco Renaissance Museum

    Find a spot in the museum grounds or the gallery to watch the sun set toward the W. The golden light starts about 30 minutes before sunset, giving the garden and the art a warm glow. Stay for the transition as the light fades.

  4. 18:58

    Alchemy

    Head to Alchemy for a drink or a light bite after dark. This raw vegan organic cafe and juice bar stays open until 21:00. It is a calm place to recover from the day and enjoy some healthy refreshments.
