06:48
Walk to the Prometeo statue. It stands on a slight rise, offering a clear view of the horizon to the west. Arrive before the sun breaks so you can watch the sky shift from dark blue to gold.
07:33
Watch the sunrise. The sun sets toward the WSW, so the Prometeo figure frames the dawn perfectly. Take a moment to appreciate the black repoussé metal against the brightening sky.
08:18
Head to Acropolis Café Y Restaurante for breakfast. It is a short walk from the statue. Founded in 1938, this spot used to host dignitaries and artists. Order a conventional breakfast and find a seat to digest the morning view.

Antigua Plaza de Toros San Pedro
