Chinchon

We went on another lovely day trip from Madrid to a small town called Chinchon.  It is famous for the plaza mayor which is also used as a bull fighting ring on occasion.  It is also known for a few pastries and a local liquor which we did not try.  Danny did order a glass of red wine at lunch and was given the entire bottle along with an entire bottle of sparkling, sweet water, if he wanted to make himself a tinto de verano.  The same plaza was featured in the original film "Around the World in 80 days." Outside the city is an old castle but unfortunately, we could only see it from the outside.
