Los Arquillos
An 18th-century stepped arcade street built to connect the old town and the new town, rising in tiers down the slope and lined with small shops and bars
Los Arquillos was designed by the architect Olaguíbel between 1787 and 1802 to bridge the height difference between the old town on the hillside and the new town to the south. The buildings are layered down the slope, and a continuous arcaded walkway runs along the ground floor, leading to the Plaza de España and the Church of San Miguel. Beneath the arcades are traditional small shops, dessert shops and bars. It is the most beautiful way to climb from the new town to the old. It is free to visit and can be walked together with the two squares.
