Lovely square located in the heart of historic Pamplona. Colorful and architecturally beautiful building surround the plaza along with numerous bars, cafes and restaurants - most featuring outdoor dining. There is a gazebo as well as plenty of benches to sit and relax. My most recent visit was just prior to the Covid-19 lockdown and therefore the plaza was virtually empty. However, on another visit (May, 2013), it was bustling and full of great energy.

If you head here on your visit to Pamplona you can get a good taste of all the región has to offer. Lovely cafes and bars line the sides of the square and within a short walk you can visit the bull ring walk the city walls visit the cathedral ,cloisters etc and have genuine pinchos in the narrow streets that radiate off the square. A must visit for seeing and experiencing life in the city.

Nice square probably the largest in the city. Lots of restaurants and a big band shell in the middle. Great place to people watch. Great parking directly underneath the square.

Large Square in the center of Pamplona. It's quite busy and therefore it seems nicer than many other squares of the same type. If you're in Pamplona have a stroll around it.

Its a romantic quarter that introduces you into a Hemingway novel! They have the original coffee where Hemingway used to hangout but well it was not our favourite detail of that quarter. We encourage you to visit it so you get all the feelings about entering into a novel!

This is the place to people watch!! Everyone walks and plays in the Plaza each evening and especially on weekends. If you're lucky enough to be there on a holiday, expect folk dancing, parades, and concerts. Restaurants circle the plaza, ranging from medium to high priced. Look for local eateries off the plaza for better deals.
