Plaza del Coso

Get your camera lens poised for one of Spain's most unusual town squares. This rectangular, sandy-floored 15th-century "square" was one of the first to be laid out for this purpose and is considered one of the most important forerunners to the plazas mayores across Spain. It's still used for bullfights on ceremonial occasions, and is watched over by distinctive, half-timbered facades, as well as the grande dame of the castle up on the hill.
