Constitution Square är en bra referenspunkt när du navigerar i denna historiska barrios labyrint av gator. Ta tag i drinkar och pintxos på en av torgets uteserveringar, eller sök skydd under torget, från alltför vanliga regn.
Constitution Square is located in the center of San Sebastián’s Old Town. The best way to find Old Town is on foot or by the city’s easy bike-sharing service. As well, taxis are cheap (find them at official taxi stands as they don’t stop when hailed) and the public D-Bus, services all the main points of interest in the city.
Day and night, the plaza is an epicenter of activity, with its cafés always packed. January 20, at the stroke of midnight, Tamborrada takes over the plaza, with 24 hours of non-stop drumming by more than 15,000 drummers. December 21, food and cider stands fill the square for Saint Thomas Day, and in August, Semana Grande is a week-long festival of cultural and sporting events, regattas, and fireworks.
Above the windows of the colorful buildings facing the square are reminders of the square’s former life as a bullring, in the early 19th century. The numbers designated balconies rented by spectators watching matadors fighting the bulls. The bullfights have since moved to the larger Plaza de Toros.
