Para quem vive em Madrid será uma da praças mais emblemáticas e talvez polémicas. No ano de 1808 e no dia 2 de Maio os madrilenhos iniciam a sua revolta contra a ocupação francesa dando origem á guerra peninsular.
Está no boémio bairro de Malasaña que tem também um história curiosa ligada á ocupação francesa já que o bairro recebeu esse nome pela morte de uma famosa costureira que se chamava Maria Malasaña, assassinada pelos franceses nesse mesmo dia com a desculpa de estaria armada e por isso pertencia á revolta.
For anyone living in Madrid is one of the most emblematic squares and perhaps controversial. In the year 1808, and on May 2 the Madrileños began their uprising against the French occupation starting the peninsular war.
Is in the bohemian neighborhood of Malasaña who also has a curious history attached to the French occupation since the district received that name for the death of a famous seamstress who was called Maria Malasaña, murdered by the French on the same day with the excuse that she was armed and therefore belonged was with the uprising.

Desde então o bairro e esta praça em particular têm muitas histórias para contar e na década de 1980, muitas delas não eram das melhores. Ali nasce a "movida" e também uma zona de drogas e decadência que lhe conferiu durante muito tempo uma personalidade mais dura. Hoje o bairro renasceu das cinzas, é um dos mais requisitados de Madrid e com ele a Plaza dos de Mayo, com as suas agradáveis esplanadas, parques infantis (são pequenos mas têm um em cada canto da praça) e este mercado o Dosde Market que se realiza aos Sábados.
Since then the neighborhood and this square in particular have many stories to tell, and in the 1980s, many of them were not the best. Here the "movida" is born and also a zone of drugs and decadence that gave it for long time a tougher personality. Today the neighborhood is reborn from the ashes, is one of the busiest of Madrid and with it the Plaza de Mayo, with its pleasant terraces, playgrounds (they are small but they have one in each corner of the square) and this Dosde market that takes place on Saturdays.

Este mercado de Diseño que se realiza todos os Sábados (desde que o tempo ajude) tem como objectivo divulgar artistas independentes que têm aqui a oportunidade de vender as suas peças e alguns fazem workshops de DIY (Do It Yourself). Honestamente estava á espera de ver mais bancadas mas ainda assim é um excelente esforço e parece-me bem localizado. Ainda comprei um fio numa bancada que por sinal era de uma portuguesa.
Ao centro da praça está um monumento com a estátua de Daoíz e Velarde, oficiais de artilharia no Quartel de Monteleón que estaria por esta zona e cuja porta está representada por trás.
Á volta bares e restaurantes com esplanadas ajudam a animar a praça que de noite ganha outra vida e talvez não seja "movida" de antigamente mas é certamente um dos sitios preferidos de quem vive na zona para sair.
Diseño this market which takes place every Saturday (since time helps) aims to disseminate independent artists here have the opportunity to sell their parts and do some workshops for DIY (Do It Yourself). I was honestly waiting to see more stalls but it's still a great effort and it seems well placed. Even bought a necklace in a stand which by the way was from a Portuguese.

At the center of the square is a monument with the statue of Daoiz and Velarde, artillery officers in the Monteléon barracks that was around this area and whose gate is represented behind.
Around bars and restaurants with terraces help to liven up the square that by night gains another life may not be has "movida" as from the past but it is certainly one of the favorite places of those who live in the area to go out.
