Plaza de Jacinto Benavente is one of Madrid's many open plazas in the city centre where you can find restaurants, bars and and outdoor cafe seating. It is found along Calle De Atocha and is where several other streets converge, including Calle De La Cruz, Carretas and Bolsa.

During our visit there was a food fair being held at Plaza de Jacinto Benavene. I'm not sure if this is a permanent setup or just seasonal but we enjoyed browsing by the stands and sampling some of the foods on offer. There was a large cheese stand that had some really nice products. Others were selling sausage, ham, nuts and cakes and other foods.

There is a bronze statue of a man sweeping the street at Plaza de Jacinto Benavente called the Madrid Sweeper. This is interesting to find if you enjoy statues and monuments. We took break at the Cafe & Te branch at this public square for a break from walking. There are a handful of other cafe options here and lots more available throughout the area.

In the end, not a critical area to visit in Madrid but a decent public square if you are passing by or simply browsing the streets of Madrid.
