HISTORY: its medieval appearance is still quite recognizable. La Latina is part of the historical center of Madrid: it is shown by its narrow and twisted streets, which once followed the path of the water.

The street Cava Baja is famous for its bars and restaurant. From Plaza de la Paja you will reach the most representative buildings of the area: the church of San Pedro el Viejo, Puerta Cerrada, the Capilla del Obispo and the Palace of the Prince de Anglona, with its gardens. Do not miss the famous Rastro Market on Sunday morning, a huge flea market which sells just about everything, and extends far and wide in the heart of La Latina attracting tourists and locals. It is a tradition on Sunday that after a walk around the market, people stop to eat in the area through the rest of the afternoon.
