Plaza Mayor

The Plaza Mayor was originally an area outside the city walls and the place where traders conducted most of their trading. Tarps had to be erected over the stalls to protect the traders and their wares from the refuse that was dumped from the windows above. Sounds like a very aromatic place to live and work. Fortunately, things have improved now so only the center of the plaza has the umbrellas and they're up to protect the diners from the relentless sun. The trade is now conducted in the building itself, filled with the prerequisite souvenir shops and numerous cafes using those umbrellas in the middle. The walls of the buildings are adorned with some interesting paintings of people in various states of undress.
