Plaza de las Flores (Plaza de Topete)
Plaza de Topete
A small square crowded with flower stalls, next to a neo-Mudéjar post office and a long-established fried fish shop. It’s the perfect place to grab a paper cone of fried fish and eat as you wander.
Its official name is Plaza de Topete, but it is known as Plaza de las Flores (Flower Square) after the flower stalls that have operated here for years. It sits right next to the Central Market. One side of the square is the post office, decorated in neo-Mudéjar style. The long-established fried fish shop on the square sells fried fish, prawns and cuttlefish packed in paper cones and priced by weight. It is Cádiz’s most authentic street snack. The surrounding lanes are full of cafés and shops serving hot chocolate with churros.
