Timeline

  1. 17:21

    Horchatería Fabián

    Grab a horchata and a bunyol at Horchatería Fabián. It is one of the few places outside of Fallas season to find these traditional treats. Go early to avoid the winter rush.

  2. 17:41

    Parc Gulliver

    Walk to Parc Gulliver. Climb the giant 70-metre sculpture of Gulliver. The structure is unique and offers a playful break before the main event.

  3. 18:01

    Palau de la Música

    Head to the Palau de la Música. Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The enormous glass greenhouse-like structure will catch the last rays of light, creating a striking visual against the darkening sky.

  4. 18:31

    Mercat de Colón

    End the evening at Mercat de Colón. This modernist marketplace is open late and offers a relaxed atmosphere with various cafés and tapas bars to enjoy after the cold air.

Local tip

The Palau de la Música ticket office closes at 21:00, but you do not need a ticket to view the exterior during sunset. Horchatería Fabián is particularly popular in winter, so arriving early is wise.
