What’s free with your ticket (the part nobody mentions)

On the Sunday we visited, the Plaza Mayor had a run of children’s activities included with admission, no extra charge:

  • Painting workshops
  • A Montessori toy playground
  • Face painting, done properly rather than by a volunteer with a sponge
  • DJ sessions for children in the square

There are paid workshops and events too, but the free programme is what turns this from a ninety-minute walk into an actual day out.

Discover. Strolling through the village, we admired architectural styles from Castilla, Galicia, Asturias, Aragón, and Andalucía — all represented authentically. The museums here feature works by famous Spanish artists like Picasso, Miró, and Dalí.

You can also meet master craftsmen and women who have worked here for decades, creating exclusive handmade products such as embroidery, ceramics, jewelry, leather goods, and paintings. This is the ideal place to pick up unique souvenirs.

Food. Plaza Mayor owns a lot of small restaurants which offer traditional dishes to all the visitors. There are some hidden restaurants while walking through the village as well. Just find your perfect place to eat and enjoy the finest weather of Barcelona. Apart of gourmet restaurants, the area is rich in traditional cuisine products: cheese, olive oil, honey, Iberian cold meats, chocolate, bread, wine, and other regional Spanish specialties. Ideal for those who like to buy unusual souvenir gifts.
