Plaza Mayor Square in Madrid: photos, reviews

About

No one has ever come as close to the truth as one of the great thinkers of the past, who called Plaza Mayor the "navel of Spain." Centuries and dynasties came and went, as knights fought in the capital's arena, bulls roared fiercely, and kings swore loyalty to the throne and their spouses amid the roar of the crowd.

Over the long years, Plaza Mayor has remained virtually unchanged with just one exception: instead of knightly tournaments, renowned DJs now compete in the square, entertaining thousands with their music. The bloody executions have been replaced by open-air discos, and coin enthusiasts gather to exchange antique coins. For tourists, Plaza Mayor is primarily about restaurants, countless bars, street performances, and numerous shops and stalls where one can buy antiques and must-have souvenirs to remember the experience.

Es un sitio turístico al q hay q ir, por las fotos y por conocer las opciones. Por mi parte, no me quedaría a comer allí porq se q los restaurantes deben tener un sobreprecio y la atención no es personalizada de verdad, pero si no hay más donde ir, puede ser una opción. Las compras allí son un acertijo. Puedes conseguir cosas increíblemente rebajadas pero generalmente tienen un sobreprecio. Lo mejor es q a pocos pasos está el Mercado de San Miguel donde las opciones son tremendas!

De la última visita a ahora ha perdido mucho, olor a meado en los soportales, y las terrazas ocupan demasiado espacio y la decoración de las terrazas muy deficiente
