Plaza Mayor and Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Chinchón, Spain.

The heart of town is its unique, almost circular Plaza Mayor, which is lined with sagging, tiered balconies – it wins our vote as one of the most evocative plazas mayores in Spain. In summer the square is converted into a bullring, and at Easter it's the stage for a popular Passion play.
