Hi.

I don't like bulls, but I know that all of you want to see someting related to the bulls when you come to Madrid. So, I'll tell you where you can find the most amazing photo with bulls and bullfighters and even with the bulls diging their horn in the bullfighters body Eeker

All those photos are put up on a bar in La Plaza Mayor. I can't recall the name but it is in the main side of the Square, where the wall of the Plaza is painted with other colors.

In this bar there are also 4 or 5 bull heads hanging on the wall and you can see the a pair of swords for killing bulls.

Just one thing, you can drink a beer in the bar to stay there and see the photos, but don't ask for a tapa or racion because are too expensive (in my opinion).

Hey totx, the place is called "La torre de oro, Bar Andal�" and the photos are interesting as is the "toro total" decor but visitors should not stay to eat nor drink anything (not even a beer) for the waiters/bartenders there are infamous for being very nasty Frowner

The "wall of the Plaza is painted with other colors" are the town hall offices and rumor has it that this bar has been trying to get a "terraza" for outdoor dining out in the Plaza forever but they are too close to the ton hall so they will not give them a license for it (that could explain their general nastiness).

Saludos,
