Placencia's city center

Traveling westward in Spain ~ Cáceres (region) A very lively square with a tower with a clock tower and a very curious doll named Grandpa Mayorga. The doll is 2 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms. He wears clothes in Plasencia colors, but not the original ones. The Plaza Mayor has a medieval style and a market is held here every Tuesday. In one of the corners there was a house that looked like something from a story. During the time of Queen Isabel, flour was weighed and collected. It was later raised to become what it is today, covering the church tower behind and transforming the square into a pagan space. The atmosphere is lively in the many bars, especially on Tuesdays, the day when a colorful fruit and food market takes place, whose history dates back to the city's founding. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Extremadura
