Plaza Mayor

During the summer months, all the restaurants and

cafes put their tables out on the square – it’s a

wonderful place to have a coffee and watch the world

go by!

Located right in the heart of Madrid, the Plaza Mayor was

originally built in the Habsburg era and has been

rebuilt three times since then due to destructive

fires…
