Plaza de España Reviews
 Jul 10, 2007
Plaza España is one of the largest open squares in Madrid. It is surrounded by many wonderful buildings like the Torre de Madrid and the Edificio de España, both designed by Otamendi. The square exists since the early fifties and is a popular attraction ever since.
Most important here is the large monument, dedicated to Miquel de Cervantes, writer of Don Quijote. You'll see statues of Don Quijote and Sancho Panza, and of Cervantes himself. The square is nice to hang around, with much shade and beautiful architecture to admire. Of course, the monument itself is an important sight in Madrid, that you really can't miss.

Plaza de España.
