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

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).
