Straw Square

Straw Square : The Michelin guide review

The peaceful, irregular-shaped Straw Square was, together with the Plaza de los Carros (Wagons), the commercial heart of medieval Madrid. It is lined with palaces and monuments from the 16C and 17C, such as the Vargas Palace which houses the gothic Bishop's Chapel adjacent to St. Andrew's Church. To see this, however, you must go to the Plaza de los Carros where you will also find the Saint Isidore Museum with its beautiful Renaissance courtyard.
