Barrio de La Latina

Neighborhood in Madrid, Spain
On the site of a medieval Islamic fort, the lively barrio of La Latina is a maze of narrow lanes filled with tapas bars and cantinas. Neighborhood landmarks here include the San Francisco el Grande Basilica, with its Goya paintings, and the towering Moorish San Pedro el Real church. On Sundays, crowds fill El Rastro flea market, and seek out lunch at the area's cafes and street-food stalls.
