Plaza Mayor

The Plaza Mayor is for the people of Madrid and tourists to shop, walk around, eat, and enjoy the outdoors. Had some really tasty tapas here which comprised of very delicately fried whitebait and some tasty asparagus spears topped with jamon (cured ham) delicious. Also enjoying the different types of Sangrias that are available. It seems that each tapas bar has a different recipe for the drink. The common denominator is that they have all been delicious :).

The Plaza Mayor (English: Main Square) is a major public space in the heart of Madrid, the capital of Spain. It was once the centre of Old Madrid.
It was first built (1580–1619) during the reign of Philip III. Only a few blocks away is another famous plaza, the Puerta del Sol.Read more
