Visiting the square at a relaxed pace

A route without slopes

The square, the monument and the port front are covered on the flat plan of the city. The Estación Puerto is close by, which reduces long journeys.

It is possible to do without the lifts and the hills and still understand the monumental axis and the bay.

Walking the plan at a gentle pace lets you stop at the monument and the façades without facing any climbs. The closeness of the square, the pier and the neighbourhood cuts down long journeys. The route can be completed calmly in under an hour if it is limited to the monumental axis and the pier. Sitting down to rest on the flat stretches is straightforward.

Breaks and comfort

It is worth pacing the route with breaks and choosing the hours with less heat or less traffic. Bringing water and comfortable footwear helps.

The pavements of the plan are irregular in stretches and there may be works; check the pedestrian crossings to choose the most comfortable itinerary.

Choosing cooler hours and quieter times improves comfort. Checking the state of the accesses lets you avoid the stretches under works, which can force detours. If you visit in a group, setting a meeting point in the square helps keep everyone together. The signs in the port area make it easier to orient yourself without walking further than needed.
