Dining options range from upscale steakhouses to family-style Basque restaurants with hearty lamb dishes. The area is highly walkable with wide streets and ample parking, though you won't find extensive public transit. Most accommodation blend vintage charm with modern amenities, offering a comfortable base to explore this working downtown's genuine small-city atmosphere.
