Arenal Gardens
Arenal Gardens form a shaded green threshold between the Old Town and the estuary. Plane trees and a bandstand invite a slower crossing between nearby landmarks.
Use the paths to connect San Nicolás, Arriaga Theatre and the river without rushing past the historic gateway. The gardens work as a pause for people watching and reveal how a former waterfront became a civic promenade. The bandstand is a useful visual anchor.
What to look for
The Arenal gardens have plane trees, footpaths, fountains and a bandstand between San Nicolás and Arriaga Theatre.
Useful to know
Use the gardens as the short link between San Nicolás and Arriaga Theatre.
