Cosy up in boutiques or shops, while occasionally seeing the mountains and tasting a delicious pintxo in between!
'Centro' is the city's extension from the late 19th century, with the Buen Pastor Cathedral (1899) as its central landmark. It is bursting with shops, bars and restaurants, many of them in traffic-free streets. Mercado San Martin is this neighbourhood's premier market, with 'gastropote' on Thursday nights, a combination of live music and pintxos among the food stalls. Along the river Urumea, Hotel Maria Cristina and the Teatro Victoria Eugenia shine. Both date from the belle époque of the early last century and, like the cathedral, are built of the sand-coloured stone that makes the centre so beautiful to stroll through.
