Plaza Mayor by night, Madrid, July 2010

It's so hot during Summer that alsmot nobody dares to cross the Plaza. There's no shadow. But things change during the night. A lot of people come here to have a glass of wine/beer or just to chat sitting down on the cobbled pavement. This bohemian atmosphere lasts till late in night.

Plaza Mayor was built during the Habsburg period and is a central plaza in the city of Madrid, Spain. It is located only a few blocks away from another famous plaza, the Puerta del Sol. The Plaza Mayor is rectangular in shape, measuring 129 by 94 meters, and is surrounded by three-story residential buildings having 237 balconies facing the Plaza. It has a total of nine entranceways. The Casa de la PanaderĂ­a, serving municipal and cultural functions, dominates the Plaza Mayor, says Wikipedia.
