Plaza de Espana is an interesting place to visit once or twice. It does not offer as much as some of the other plazas nearby, but there are often international booths set up that allow one to experience more than just Spanish culture and cuisine. Also, there is a little gem of a Chinese restaurant and market located under the...

be careful at night if you are traveling with young children. Nothing dangerous just some intoxicated people that were stopped by the police. Not really something I like to have my child around.

This is a place, typically European, where as a centerpiece there is a tiny little park with a huge statue and a small water feature. Everything has it's order.

it was nice to seat on the grass under the sun on this relaxing square. We also saw a unique BBQ grill and everything on it looked delicious. You can also see the statue of Cervantes. Very close to the Palacio Real which you can visit after the Plaza Espagna

I have been to this plaza several times, usually with student tour groups where we have a 15-minute look-see and then we are off to another destination. When not traveling with students, I like to come and sit and people-watch. Of course the monument to Cervantes with Don Quijote and Sancho Panza is awesome to see, as are the fountains....

The Plaza de España is located downtown and connects to the Gran Via. The monument to Cervantes is quite beautiful. There is a very good sculpture of Cervantes seating down. Nearby are the statues of two of his characters, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. The monument has a cascade of water falling behind. Around the square are two of the...
