La Latina & Lavapiés Free Tour
The barrios where Madrid lives, eats and argues
South of the postcard center, Madrid gets real: La Latina’s tapas streets built over medieval walls, and Lavapiés, the most multicultural square kilometer in Spain, where corralas, street art and hundred-year-old taverns share the same block. This is the Madrid most visitors never find on their own.
The walk starts at Plaza Mayor (Plaza Mayor, Madrid) and runs daily at 11:00. It lasts around 2.5 hours, is offered in English, Spanish, and the group is capped at 25 people so the experience stays personal. Look for the guide with the green FreeTour sign.
