Casco Viejo

Seven parallel streets form the core structure of this neighborhood, featuring traditional Basque buildings with decorative balconies and stone façades.

The district emerged in the 14th century as Bilbao's first urban development, built near the Nervión River to facilitate maritime trade and commerce.

The La Ribera Market remains central to local life, where vendors present fresh produce, fish, and regional specialties in a grand 1929 building.

The Santiago Cathedral and Plaza Nueva serve as primary navigation landmarks for exploring the winding streets filled with traditional pintxo establishments.

Each of the original seven streets maintains its medieval layout while incorporating modern Basque gastronomic culture through numerous food establishments.
