Plaza Mayor

Centre · Historic square (quick visit) · Free

I walk the long way around the terraces. The square is for looking, not eating.

For me, Plaza Mayor is a ten-minute walk-through: look, take a photo, leave. Not to eat — the square's bars are touristy and soulless. A historic site that earns a short visit, not a meal.
