(Madrid) Plaza Mayor ★★★★

C78V+62 Madrid, Spain

 

A historical landmark. At daytime it's just a big plaza, but it becomes a food street at night with lots of people.

I exchanged my complimentary drink ticket from the hotel with this bottle of beer.

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is under maintenance when it's not business day.

We had small breakfast, Catalan style “fideuá” with squids, shrimps and prawns from last night dinner at the La Malonita.

Today, our first plan is to walk from the plaza Mayor to the Royal Palace of Madrid. We still can walk to the Plaza Mayor, but we needed to save energy for all day walk and will have to use public transport when visiting the Mint Museum anyway.

We got off the metro at the Sol station. A big crowd along the Real Casa de Correos.

While walking along the C. Mayor you can find this interesting gate on your left, and that is the Plaza Mayor. It is hard to see the underground parking lot in Europe.

Plaza Mayor

It is basically a large plaza but it becomes much more crowed with people at the bars around the plaza.
