This noun, borrowed directly from Spanish, has multiple definitions. In Spain and in parts of the United States with heavy Spanish influences, a paseo is a leisurely evening stroll, taken especially for socializing. In the United States, the term was adapted to refer to a plaza or walkway where such a social activity takes place. For example, the Paseo del Rio in San Antonio, Texas, is a historic riverwalk famous for its shops, restaurants, and architecture. Pedestrians enjoy a paseo on the paseo every day. Another use of the word is specific to bullfighting: The parade of bullfighters into the arena is called a paseo.
