Why go
The continuous arcades make Plaza Nueva feel distinct from the old town's narrow streets. Walk the perimeter to read the orderly Neoclassical design, then use the square as a break during a Casco Viejo visit. The Sunday market adds a different rhythm, with books, coins and stamps among its traditional wares.
What to look for
- Neoclassical arcades run around the square.
- Pintxo bars occupy the edges beneath the arcades.
- A Sunday collectors market brings books, coins and stamps.
Useful to know
- Come during a Casco Viejo walk for the square and its bars; check current market details if Sunday browsing is the draw.
