Timeline
16:21
Grab a quick bite or a drink at the market before heading to the shore. The Mercat del Cabanyal is open until 14:30 on weekdays and Saturdays, but since this is an evening plan, check the route to see if you can catch it open earlier or simply use it as a landmark for the walk.
17:21
Walk west from the port to Parc Gulliver. This 39-minute walk takes you away from the museum and towards the sculpture. Arrive just in time to see the giant Gulliver figure against the setting sun, which sets toward the WSW.
18:01
Watch the sunset. The sun dips below the horizon toward the west-southwest, casting long shadows over the playground sculpture.
18:46
Head back toward the port area to Bodega Casa Montaña. This historic tapas bar, established in 1836, is open until 23:30. It is the oldest in Valencia and serves classic dishes with local ingredients. The informal setting is perfect for winding down after the walk.
19:31
End the night with a drink at La Fábrica de Hielo. This cultural centre in a former ice factory is open until 24:00 on weekdays. Enjoy a drink or tapas while listening to local musicians, with Sunday jazz being a special feature if your evening falls on a weekend.
Local tip
The walk from the museum to Parc Gulliver is long (39 minutes). If you prefer a shorter stroll, consider starting at the market and walking directly to the park, skipping the museum interior for this specific evening flow.
