Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled in the heart of the Old Town, the Plaza de la Constitución is a must-see gem in San Sebastián. This bustling square was once home to the city hall until the 1940s, and it still resonates with historical charm. Picture yourself strolling around, surrounded by vibrant local life, with cafes and shops lining the edges. It’s the perfect spot to soak up the local atmosphere, with the occasional street musician adding a melodic backdrop to your exploration.

The architecture here is a fascinating blend of old and new, reflecting the city’s dynamic spirit. Keep an eye out for the numbered balconies, a quirky nod to its past when the square served as a bullring. Today, it’s a lively gathering place, especially during local festivals when the square comes alive with even more energy and excitement. Whether you're there for a leisurely afternoon or a quick coffee break, Plaza de la Constitución offers a slice of San Sebastián’s rich history and vibrant present.
