Plaza Mayor, Madrid

A tourist site for sure, but enjoyable none the less. You can definitely people watch here. I did not try any of the restaurants, but was there during Christmas time so I checked out the market they had set up in the Plaza. I liked all of the stands they had set up and the decorations were really nice especially when lit at night. Performers were there as well entertaining the crowd.

Wonderful area to sit and relax with fun Street style entertainment. Plenty of places to eat and drink although a little bit more expensive than elsewhere. We even got to watch a wedding and as it is sheltered we sat in polo shirts on a February day that started at at -2°. A must visit 😀

Nice historical location with a history of brutality. Gives you feeling of being there in a history and watch those who were punished publicly ar this place in old times. Nice shopping options for souvenirs and also great food options. Interesting to watch people selling stuff on the street which is illegal and when police arrive on the horses, how quickly they wrap that and leave only to return when police is gone. Overall nice place to visit.

A must sightseeing place in Madrid! This beautiful square has so much history! Also, they always have something different there! Like this picture I’ve post! You will also noticed a lot of locals with their family! And this is amazing!

Very beautiful square. Calamari sandwich is a classic and you can join free walking tours in the mornings. Look for the red umbrellas, they're very good for English speakers.
