Plaza Mayor
Plaza Mayor Review
The Plaza Mayor is the heart of the old town. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings, the arcaded plaza bustles with farmers selling produce and cheeses. Many farmers still wear wooden shoes called madreñas, designed to walk on mud in this usually wet part of Spain; the odd-looking shoes are raised on three heels, two in front and one in back.
