Arco de Cuchilleros

The Arco de Cuchilleros is one of the ten entrances to the Plaza Mayor and is located in the southwest corner of the square. The entrance almost looks like a watchtower due to the height of the entrance. The entrance looks tall because the adjoining street is much lower that the plaza and just like the plaza, the area is very touristy. In truth, I wasn't that impressed and certainly wouldn't come just to see it.

Nothing extraordinary just an entrance to plaza mayor…. Places around has nice vibe.

Cute spot for a saturday lunch. You are often serenade by local street artists playing guitar while enjoying your delicious food.

Beautiful arch that leads to plaza mayor. The best artists are right up the stairs!

One of the beautiful spot in madrid.

Most of the arches are beautiful on the plaza. Great viewpoints down avenues to different parts of the city.

For tourist only, DO NOT GO! Rotten meat served with nasty taste. Very expensive. Value for money ridiculous. Friendly staff.

The real Arco Cuchilleros. The way of the knifes maker in ancient time.
