2 reviews of Los Carros Square

Traditional Madrid

Excellent

We have finally arrived. After lunch in one of the the restaurants we found on the path since we left Plaza Mayor, in one of the most traditional areas in Madrid.

The original construction dates back to the 13th century and it now has a peaceful charm to it. There you will be able to relax, have your afternoon tea or coffee in order to recharge energy after this route on the paved streets of the area.

The name of "carros" (cars, chariot, etc.) comes from the stop these used to make after entering Madrid through the so-called Puerta de Moros (Middle-Ages). They could come with their merchandises and would leave them there.


Nowadays you have to go walking to see the facade of some of the buildings, some made of bricks where you can also find the Aroca restaurant. In the past, Doña María would make the best Spanish omelet you could eat in Madrid.

On Plaza de la Paja, adjacent to this square, there is the San Isidro museum, the saint patron of Madrid, with the remains of the well where San Isidro would take water.
