Timeline
20:24
Grab a drink or light bite at ZAZU. It is just a two-minute walk from La Dama Ibérica, so you can secure a table and relax before the main event. The kitchen is open until 17:00 and 02:00, so you have plenty of time.
20:44
Walk to La Dama Ibérica on Campanar. Spend twenty minutes taking in the 18-meter steel structure and the 22,000 miniature replicas that make up its surface. It is a striking piece of modern art that dominates the roundabout.
21:04
Head to Jardí de Montfort for the view. This formal Neoclassical garden is located 53 minutes walking distance from the anchor, but since you are already in the area, check the route. From here, the sun sets directly behind La Dama Ibérica. On this date, the alignment happens around 21:04 local time. Find a quiet spot in the garden to watch the golden light fade and the sculpture silhouette against the sky.
Local tip
The alignment fact notes that the line of sight is computed and not verified. If the view is obstructed by trees or structures in the garden, try moving slightly within the garden space to find a clear angle toward the WNW.
