Pintxos Route in the Plaza Nueva of Bilbao.

Discover the best Pintxos bars in the Plaza Nueva, one of the most emblematic places in Bilbao.

Bilbao’s Plaza Nueva has always been a meeting place for locals, a social space of great importance in which adults and children have enjoyed and continue to enjoy the famous Sunday market where collectors and buyers meet. Although, unfortunately this activity is becoming less and less, there is still a great atmosphere to enjoy with the family or group, an atmosphere that we recommend to enjoy with a pintxo-poteo in the bars that cover much of the arcades of the new square.

Plaza Nueva of Bilbao

Its surprising neoclassical structure, inaugurated in 1851, helps, and a lot, to turn the new square into one of the most emblematic corners of Bilbao, a place that has been chosen by Euskaltzaindia (Royal Academy of the Basque Language) as the location for its main headquarters.

The more than 10 establishments present in the new square of Bilbao make it practically impossible to make a route for all of them. That is why, we propose a route of pintxos for the new square of Bilbao in which we only mention 3 bars. 3 bars, 3 pintxos, 3 pots, a good statistic that allows us to enjoy the new square without having to renounce to continue enjoying the rest of the old part of Bilbao, the 7 streets.

Pintxos bar Zuga

Bertoko Berria is perhaps the bar in the new square most representative of our culture and traditions. An establishment, in which famous characters of the Basque Country flood much of its walls and doors, a cheerful and original decoration that is accompanied by a great sample of Basque cuisine in the form of pintxos.

The last of our 3 recommendations, but not least. The Zuga bar, has some of the most famous pintxos in Bilbao, including its famous Carolina de Roquefort. Have you tried it? A carolina, which at first sight makes us believe that we are in front of one of the most typical sweets of the city, when in fact, we are in front of one of the most famous cheese pintxos of all the Basque Country.

Although Bilbao’s Plaza Nueva is one of the most recommended pintxo areas throughout the city of Bilbao, we must take into account that it is also one of the most expensive. We recommend to take into account this small detail before going to taste some of the best pintxos of all Euskal Herria.
