Plaza Mayor

Fodor's Review:

The high point of Chinchón is its charming Plaza Mayor, an uneven circle of ancient three- and four-story houses embellished with wooden balconies resting on granite columns. Restored in 2006-07 it's something like an open-air Elizabethan theater, but with a Spanish flavor—in fact, the entire plaza is converted to a bullring during the local fiestas, which take place by mid-August, with temporary bleachers erected in the center and seats on the privately owned balconies rented out for splendid views.
