Plaza de las Flores, Central square with flower stalls in Murcia, Spain.
Plaza de las Flores is a central pedestrian square in Murcia with multiple bars, restaurants, and outdoor terraces arranged around a bronze fountain sculpture called La Niña de las Flores. The square connects to surrounding areas and provides direct access to the Verónicas Market for fresh produce and seafood.
The square originated at the location of Murcia's former main butcher shop, where flower sellers later set up their stalls. It received its current name in 1968 and has since become a central gathering point.
The square remains a gathering place where locals visit the many tapas bars to enjoy regional dishes and wines throughout the day. This social custom shapes how the space feels and how people spend their time here.
The area is fully accessible on foot and well connected to nearby squares and markets. Visitors will find bars and restaurants open throughout the day and evening with outdoor seating available.
Flower vendors occupy their traditional spots around the central fountain each day, a practice tracing back to the nineteenth century. This daily routine gives the square its distinctive character and historical continuity.
