It's easy to miss but worth the effort of finding. We only visited in the evenings and enjoyed the low buzz of the place. It's delightful!
A great place to visit, in particular on a weekend when it has a great atmosphere! It's always busy and bustling with a market on Sundays and there are a wide number of places to eat and drink in.
It's nice place with a lots of things to see and do lots of activities and restaurants to chose.We liked the cleanses and good food and the security we had it's just was a bit far from where we were
Plaza Nueva is a handsome square surrounded by cafes serving tapas and on Sundays there's a very lively bric a brac market as well as serious collectors stalls for coin, postcard and stamp collectors. The pinxtis bars become so crowded it needs an intrepid tourist to try to have their lunch there.
At the recommendation of a colleague, we opted for dinner here when we discovered that our first choice of restaurants was closed for the day. If you only have a passing familiarity with Pintxos, the restaurants and bars that ring this old plaza offer a graduate course worthy of repeated study. The laid-back atmosphere, the variety and vibrancy present here offers the best of what a city can offer. We started with one pocket-sized pintxo bar, picked-out a few choices and a glass of wine, then made our way to the next spot, and the next one after that. I could see spending a day - or several days here. Words and photos cannot adequately describe the layers of flavors available - from seafood to jamon – glorious jamon. Take me back please.
went there on a Sunday morning, small flea market taking place. A couple of nice pinxtos bars & restaurants. Worth a quick visit.
i was there on a fiesta day so everyone was eating and drinking around the plaza and enjoying the day,,great energy in the whole area
Great for "Pintxos". Also good when it's raining. It does get packed just before lunch. 13.00 - 15.00
Plaza Nueva is an ideal place (Situated in the Old Quarter of Bilbao) to meet people for a few drinks and Pintxos (tapas). The surrounding bars have a wide selection of delicious Pintxos (taps) as well as a great vairety of wines. Highly recommended for people that want to feel the merry and vibrant side of the Bilbao Old quarter.
Spent a number of hours in this place. Full of locals and very busy until late into the night. A visit to Victor Montes is highly recommended.
