Plaza Mayor(Main Square)

Stay near the Majorelle Gardens. After visiting several gardens and museums, walk from this pleasant and exquisite area to several attractions on the Djemaa El Fna Square. Visit the city's large bazaar in the old town of Marrakech. There are all kinds of people, streets, and horse-drawn carriages. After sunset, the market in the square becomes a group of food stalls. You can experience it and eat barbecue. The Moroccan breakfast is colorful and you can try it.

Compared with the bustling Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor adds a sense of laziness. When I walked into this square "courtyard" from the ancient neighborhood of Madrid, I immediately felt a unique atmosphere! There are 9 arches in the square connecting the surrounding streets and alleys.

Plaza Mayor was built in 1619. In the more than 300 years since its completion, it was damaged by fire three times and rebuilt three times. It survived until the third reconstruction in 1953. The rectangular square is 129 meters long and 94 meters wide. In the center stands the equestrian statue of Philip III who ordered the construction of the square. It is surrounded by four-story buildings with 237 balconies facing the square. The nine arched gates of the square lead to the main streets in the city center. The most ornamental building in the square, the House of Bakery, has exquisite murals on its exterior walls. The City Hall and the Tourist Service Center are both located here. Around the square and the arcades of the buildings, there are shops and restaurants lined up, and citizens and tourists are eating and eating leisurely. The stamp and coin market is open, and people come and go, bargaining, and have a great time. All over the square, street performers of all kinds are working hard to show their various talents, becoming a beautiful landscape.

Although the square is not big, the scenery is good and it is worth a visit.

Madrid (Spanish: Madrid) is the capital and largest city of Spain, and the capital of the Autonomous Region of Madrid. It is located in the central part of Spain, with the Manzanares River running through the city. The city has a population of about 3.4 million, and the metropolitan area has a population of about 6.271 million (2010), both of which rank first in Spain. It was founded in the 9th century and developed on the site of the Moorish border trade station "Magarite". In 1561, King Philip II of Spain moved the capital from Toledo to here. Due to its special status, it has developed rapidly and became the operational center of the Spanish colonial empire in the future. Today, it is listed as one of Spain's two major cultural windows to the outside world, along with Barcelona. Madrid is also Spain's commercial center and "headquarters economy" center. It is located in the central part of Spain, with the Manzanares River running through it. It is located in the middle of the Meseta Plateau on the Iberian Peninsula, in the mountain plateau basin at the southeast foot of the Guadarrama Mountains, with an altitude of 670 meters. To the south, it can be connected to the Strait of Gibraltar, which is bounded by water, and to the north, it can reach the heart of Europe by crossing the Pyrenees Mountains. Therefore, its geographical location is very important. Historically, it has been known as the "Gateway to Europe" because of its important strategic location. Madrid is also a tourist and cultural center in southern Europe, with rich historical and cultural relics, complete modern tourist facilities, and a developed service industry.
