Loved seeing this square. Lot's going on during the day. Don't have lunch there to expensive and food not as good. If you have time, have a coffee and people watch.

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.

Great for "Pintxos". Also good when it's raining. It does get packed just before lunch. 13.00 - 15.00

went there on a Sunday morning, small flea market taking place. A couple of nice pinxtos bars & restaurants. Worth a quick visit.

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.

Great place for people watching. Sadly on 01 January everything is closed, so could not comment on restaurants. But on NY day many families took their small children to walk and chat to neighbours. Very charming

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.

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!

Wow! This place is fantastic morning, noon and night. During the day sip a cool smoothie or treat yourself to an amazing Oreo latte from the coffee shop in the corner, whilst sunning yourself and watching the local community have fun. At night drink red or white Basque wines and taste the lovely pintxos which are on offer in every bar. The atmosphere is superb, people are friendly and families eat, drink, play and socialise during the day and the evening. Some of the bars are more expensive than others, it's worth checking the prices, one bar offers bottle of wine and 7 or 8 pintxos for less than 20 euro - bargain!

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.

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.

During the day an interesting 19c plaza. It is transformed at night into a friendly, noisy, crowded square where to move from pintxos bar to pintxos bar is an absolute joy. Brilliant food and if you are lucky music and singing.

Brilliant selection of tapas, continuously cooked and refreshed and good rioja by the glass at very reasonable prices. Seating at bar stools seating or tables with efficient service.
