or in Spanish or or in Basque are different names for the medieval neighbourhood of Bilbao, part of the Ibaiondo district. The names mean ''Seven Streets'' or ''Old Town'' respectively and it used to be the walled part of the town until the end of the 19th century. ==The Seven Streets== The name ''Zazpikaleak'' or ''Las Siete Calles'' (The Seven Streets) come from the oldest part of the neighbourhood which included exactly 7 streets and some much more narrow alleys connecting them, called ''cantons'' (''kantoi'', ''cantón''). The historical seven streets of Bilbao are: *''Somera'', "upper" *''Artekale'', "middle street" *''Tendería'', "shopkeeper's" *''Belostikale'', "rapid street" *''Carnicería Vieja'', "old butchery" *''Barrenkale'', "lower street" *''Barrenkale Barrena'', "lower lower street" The "8th" street is ''Ronda'', which used to be the patrol street outside the walls. Later the town expanded northwards with the construction of the ''Plaza Berria'' or ''Plaza Nueva'' (new square) and the streets ''Santa María'' ("Saint Mary"), ''Bidebarrieta'' ("new ways"), ''Correo'' ("mail") and ''Askao''. Nowadays the neighbourhood also includes the Ribera ("riverbank") street, the Arenal ("sandy place") Park and Esperanza ("hope") street as well. The area is served by Casco Viejo station of the Bilbao Metro.
