Highlights
-
Plaza Mayor - The name of the plaza has changed over time. It has been known as “Plaza del Arrabal”, “Plaza de la Constitución”, “Plaza Real”, “Plaza de la República” and now “Plaza Mayor”. These names reflect events, history and reign in Spanish history.
“Plaza del Arrabal” was the original name of the present day “Plaza Mayor”. The “Plaza del Arrabal” was once the site of the most popular marketplace until the end of 15th century. Following the Constitution of 1812, all major plazas in Spain were renamed “Plaza de la Constitución”. It also held this name 1820 to 1823, 1833 to 1835, 1840 to 1843, and 1876 to 1922. When the Borbón king was restored in 1814, it became known as the “Plaza Real”. In 1873, the name changed to “Plaza de la República”. At the end of the Spanish Civil War the plaza received its present name of “Plaza Mayor”.

Iris the Best Guide - I found it very entertaining and I really liked that Iris did not speak like my history teacher, because on other tours they do that and it gets very heavy.
