Plaza de Topete

°äá»å¾±³ú


About 250m northwest of the cathedral, this triangular plaza is one of °äá»å¾±³ú’ most intimate. Bright with flowers, it's usually talked about as Plaza de las Flores (Square of the Flowers). Beside is the revamped 1838 Mercado Central de Abastos, the oldest covered market in Spain (note the original pillars), now also a buzzing gastromarket.
