Parque de la Florida
A 19th-century Romantic urban park with ancient trees, a music pavilion and sculptures. A giant Nativity scene is set up at Christmas.
Florida Park was built in 1820 and is the oldest park in the city. Laid out in an English Romantic style, it has rare old trees from around the world, ponds, a music pavilion and several sculptures. During the July jazz festival, there are free performances beside the park. Every December, the park sets up life-sized Nativity scenes, which are very popular with families. Entry is free. The park lies between the New Cathedral and the Basque Parliament, about a 10-minute walk from the old town.
