The best areas we found for food, particularly tapas, seems to be more popular with locals than tourists which is alwasys a good sign for great food! Used to be used for jousting and knighting, look out for the only remaining gothic house at no. 17.

From a grim past of public gallows and abbatoirs this square is now a really exciting place to visit. My boyfriend and I got off the tourist bus for a bit here and explored. The bullring is a fantastic structure, but i'm glad it's not been popular. The ventian towers are so like the one in venice that you feel like it's a mirage to see two, and whilst i didn't much rate the fountain I loved miro's 'woman and bird'.
