The Puebla Vieja’s seven streets are at the eastern end of Playa de Salvé next to the Puerto Pesquero (Fisherman’s Port). Atunnel that once connected it to the earliest port has been revamped to serve as an interesting subsurface pedestrian thoroughfare. The architecture in this old quarter is a mix of Gothic and Renaissance highlighted by the Santa María church, the Convento de San Francisco, and a rich assortment of palaces, the most impressive of which is the Palacio de Benito Zarauz on C/ San Francisco.
