At Plaza Mayor, the heart of the town, time seems to have stopped

Plaza mayor is one of the most beautiful main squares in the Community of Madrid. In fact, it has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) in the category of Historic Complex. You may find there many restaurants and cafes with local dishes such as patatas chulas (cold potatoes – candied in olive oil and seasoned with garlic, parsley and a little vinegar), and the pozas (a kind of candeal bread sandwich in which the crumb is substituted by a mince of onion, tomato and marinade).
