The recreational heart of the city is Plaza del Castillo with a huge square adorned with a domed gazebo, surrounded by arcades, balconied buildings, bars and restaurants. The space is looked on by a monument of Carlos III El Noble and there is an underground parking lot for those needing such facilities. Park benches are placed around the square that allow for a much needed siesta under the sun. Many public events also converge on this square so you might have a free ticket to some lively entertainment or occasional political assembly. The most interesting part however is that all the major bars branch off from here in the side streets and alleys off the plaza. #plaza #bars #restaurants #food #pamplona #spain #curioushumanics #semanasanta
