Welcome back to the beautiful , ancient Plaza Mayor in Chinchon ( 45km outside of Madrid ) . :jump: After being shrouded in renovation work for what seems like an eternity , it was formally re-opened by Esperanza Aguirre today ( She's President of the Community of Madrid ) . The newly restored Plaza Mayor looks incredible ! Me thinks a summer trip will be on the cards ... Some great restaurants there and the village is beautiful .

Fortunately, my favorite product of Chinchon (anis seco) travels well. Unfortunately, it is unavailable for purchase in US (to my knowledge). I always sweat out the 2 bottles I carefully pack into my bags for the trip home.
Fortunately, I can have all I want this Thursday!

I'm anxious to read your reports of the "NEW" Plaza Mayor of Chinchón. I have a feeling they'll be mostly like, "Hey, it looks exactly like it did before!"
Saludos, MadridMan
