The historic old town, also known as "Madrid de las Austrias" (referring to the Hapsburg Empire) is an example of the city's 16th and 17th century life, as is its impressive Plaza Mayor. The afternoon is free for you to explore the city at your leisure before enjoying a 3-course dinner at a local restaurant.
