2 iconic and traditional neighbourhoods of Madrid filled to the brim with landmarks and historical sites wrapped in the mystery of its medieval origin on this Guided Tour of Lavapiés and La Latina.
Located in the heart of Madrid, Lavapiés and La Latina maintain their irregular layout of houses built at different heights and around a central patio: the corralas (a popular building model of the capital between the 17th and 19th centuries). Its old commercial tradition gives its name to many of its streets and squares, such as the Plaza de la Cebada, the Plaza de los Carros or the Plaza de la Paja. But, without a doubt, the best representation of this ancient tradition is found in the Rastro: the most famous open-air market in Madrid. These two neighborhoods, which represent the best example of Spanish tradition, have become the meeting point of very different cultures. In them, the popular legacy of Madrid coexists in perfect balance with the customs and traditions contributed by a well-settled immigrant population, arriving from different origins. You will discover a Madrid full of life. El Rastro, its tapas, the festival of La Paloma, Las Vistillas ... What are you waiting for? Sign up now!
