La Latina is Madrid’s most popular and truly the most authentic neighborhood in the city!
Close to the wonderful Plaza Mayor district is the real ancient centre of Madrid. You will be able to get a glimpse of how the city developed from mediaeval times to the 20th century. Many parts of this district are a maze of narrow streets that end in squares. One of the most important areas is Plaza de la Paja, the heart of Madrid before the building of Plaza Mayor. Nearby you will find many busy cafes and restaurants, which are very popular, especially in the summer. Moving west from Plaza de la Paja, you will find Morera, the old Arab area of the city. The district is lively, and offers a great deal for residential purposes and for leisure. You will find everything you need here, including the Rastro, Madrid’s equivalent of London’s Portobello market.
Since it is located right in the centre, you will have access to everything and most importantly, it is home to the street Cava Baja, which is one of the most famous streets in Madrid for tapas and drinks. This energetic part of town offers you a mix of the ancient time of Madrid while introducing the 20th century at the same time.
