Plaza de los Carros

this plaza was just around the corner from where we stayed during our visit to madrid… a stone’s throw from our window. it is right outside a cathedral and we always saw many children playing ball in the courtyard or just running around during the daytime. after sunset, the scene changed, as we no longer saw little kids, but rather, bigger kids, or young adults having a smoke or just hanging out on the benches. this plaza is situated just steps from the famous calle cava baja, where you’ll find many restaurants and bars that open late into the night and wee hours of the morning.
