Timeline
19:23
Start with a classic Valencian treat at Horchatería Fabián. Order horchata with churros or bunyuelos (fried dough fritters) to keep your energy up. It is one of the few places selling bunyuelos outside of the Fallas season, so it is a special local experience.
20:08
Festival Internacional del Viento
Walk to the Festival Internacional del Viento in Cabanyal. Arrive early enough to find a good spot on the sand. The festival features exhibits, kite-making demonstrations, and competitions. As the afternoon progresses, the sky fills with color.

Watch the sunset. On 15 April, the sun sets at 20:38 toward the WNW. The fading light against the kites and the sea provides a striking visual. This is the peak moment of the experience.
21:23
End the evening with drinks and tapas at La Fábrica de Hielo. This cultural centre in a former ice factory hosts nightly concerts by local musicians. It is a relaxed place to digest the day’s sights and enjoy the local music scene.
