Zabalburu plaza
Plaza Zabalburu
Park · Abando
Trees, fountains and playful paving soften one of central Bilbao’s busy junctions.
Zabalburu turns a busy city junction into a planted square, with trees forming a buffer against the surrounding traffic. Look for the ground-level ornamental fountains, the dune-like paving and Mario Nanni’s eight light sculptures.
There are children’s play areas too, making it a useful pause while exploring central Bilbao. The attraction is the square’s everyday public space and design details.
