The Plaza Nueva is a beautiful neoclassical square that was built in 1821. This square is the lively heart of the Casco Viejo, the old district of Bilbao. Plaza Nueva is surrounded by buildings, where the lower floor consists of arches. Under these arches you will find numerous pintxos bars and restaurants. The square is therefore ideally suited to grab a terrace at the end of the afternoon and watch the Basque life while enjoying pintxos, the Basque form of tapas.

This neo-classical square is very popular with the inhabitants of Bilbao. It was designed in the style of a typical Castilian central square. It was built from 1828 to 1849.
Here are some of the best and most awarded pintxo bars in Bilbao.

The closed main square of old Bilbao. Many cafes and beautiful arcades. There is always something going on here and people meet here.
