Local tip
The walk from Plaza Eric Fermín back to La Locanda is short and easy. If you want to extend the walk, you can also visit Plaza San Martín, which is only four minutes from the bike shop, but Plaza Eric Fermín offers the best view for the sunset.
Check before you go
- La Locanda is open until 23:30, so you have plenty of time for dinner after the sunset.
- ProShop Bike is open until 21:00, so ensure you return your bike or arrange transport if you plan to stay late.
