Beware of selecting restaurants in Plaza Mayor, Madrid. A group of us went there, and after perusing the displayed menus and prices of the dishes on offer we elected to eat at Casa Carmen. Steak and chips was on offer at 24euro, so everyone chose just a main course. Previous to this we had eaten very well in small tapas... more

There were street musicians, jugglers, dancers, couples out for a... more
