The Seven Streets (Siete Calles) are particularly well-known within this area.Couples looking for a romantic and authentic experience will find the Old Town perfect. You can spend your days wandering through historic alleys, discovering hidden plazas, and enjoying the culinary delights at every turn.

This area is home to the Guggenheim Museum and features wider avenues like Gran Vía, lined with upscale shops and contemporary hotels.

The best time to go to Etura is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.During late spring, the temperatures are comfortably mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 22°C. The countryside is lush and green, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the region's natural parks. You'll find fewer tourists compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience at popular attractions and restaurants. This period is particularly good for couples looking for a romantic getaway with agreeable weather for strolls and al fresco dining.Early autumn offers similar advantages, with temperatures generally between 18°C and 25°C. The summer crowds have dispersed, and the sea is still warm enough for swimming until mid-October. This season is superb for solo travellers who appreciate exploring at their own pace, enjoying the local cuisine, and perhaps visiting some of the nearby vineyards without the hustle and bustle. The shoulder seasons also often present better value for accommodation and flights.While summer (July and August) brings the warmest weather and vibrant festivals, it also means larger crowds and higher prices. If you prefer a lively option and don't mind the heat, this can still be a good option.
