Audio Guide A remnant of medieval Madrid, its name comes from its use at that time. This was the square where the Bishop auctioned off the straw (paja) brought from his farmland near Plasencia in the province of Cáceres. You'll find the Capilla del Obispo (Bishop's Chapel) in the nextdoor Plaza de los Carros. Have a look at its outstanding altarpiece, tombs, and doors. A stage is set up in Plaza de la Paja during the Paloma festival where people dance in the traditional madrileño style called chotis. There are some good bars and an excellent Russian restaurant (El Cosaco) around here.2 ¢/min and up – call home from over 100 countries!http://travel.comfi.com/Best Value.
