It's the classic Madrid Plaza, gorgeous but with a history that makes it more interesting. Haven't eaten anything in the plaza, not sure if tourist traps. Mercado San Miguel is close by for good eats!

If you take the exit at the corner behind the horse to the right it will take you to the oldest restaurant in the world opened 1725 and operating until today

The origins of the Plaza go back to 1577 when Philip II asked Juan de Herrera, a renowned Classical architect, to discuss a plan to remodel the busy and chaotic area of the old Plaza del Arrabal.

Overrun with trinket salespeople squeaking on their clown noise makers they try so hard to sell. If you can ignore them then neat to see the slice of life here. Also - it’s close to everything!

Plaza Mayor (Main Square) is rectangular in shape, measuring 129×94 m (423 ft × 308 ft) and is surrounded by three-story residential buildings having 237 balconies facing the Plaza. Remember camera!
