Barranco’s Bridge of Sighs and Pedro de Osma Museum

Why go

This relaxed Barranco walk suits visitors who want the neighborhood itself to be part of the visit. Begin in the municipal park, then move through the streets around the Bridge of Sighs. The route finishes at Museo Pedro de Osma, where a longer indoor visit changes the pace after the outdoor walk. Playa Los Yuyos is an optional final detour for a look at the shore. Keeping the beach optional makes the main route comfortable when the weather or energy level calls for a shorter finish. Check the museum’s current visitor information before you go.
