    Chocolatería Valor

    Grab hot chocolate and churros at Chocolatería Valor. It is open late, so you can enjoy a warm treat while the afternoon light is still good.

  2. 20:52

    Pont de l'Exposició

    Walk to the Pont de l'Exposició. This Santiago Calatrava bridge, known locally as La Peineta, offers a wide, unobstructed view toward the west. Find a spot on the structure or the riverbank to watch the sky change.

  3. 21:47

    Parc Gulliver

    After the sun dips below the horizon, head to Parc Gulliver. The giant sculpture of Gulliver is best seen in the twilight, and the park is a calm place to end the evening.

Local tip

The walk from the chocolate shop to the bridge is short, but the bridge to the park is longer. Allow time to stroll and take in the architecture.
