Tour description

We want to show you two of the most traditional and multicultural neighborhoods in Madrid, and take you into their narrow streets still enveloped in the mysterious aura of their medieval origins.

Located in the heart of Madrid, Lavapiés and La Latina maintain their irregular layout of houses built at different heights and around a central courtyard: the corralas (a model of popular construction in the capital between the 17th and 19th centuries).

Its ancient commercial tradition gives its name to many of its streets and squares, such as Plaza de la Cebada, Plaza de los Carros or Plaza de la Paja. But, without a doubt, the best representation of this ancient tradition can be found in El Rastro: the most famous open-air market in Madrid.

These two neighbourhoods, which represent the best example of traditional Castilian culture, 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 brought by a well-established immigrant population, arriving from different origins.

You will discover a Madrid full of life. El Rastro, its tapas, the Paloma street fair, Las Vistillas… What are you waiting for? Sign up now!

This activity is only open to groups of up to 6 people. If you are 7 or more people, you will be asked to pay per person in advance to join the tour.
