Barrio de La Latina, Traditional neighborhood in central Madrid, Spain

The neighborhood contains narrow medieval streets centered around Plaza de la Cebada and Plaza de La Paja, forming a network of historical pathways.

Originally an Islamic citadel within city walls, La Latina received its name from Beatriz Galindo, who established a hospital in this area in 1499.

The district celebrates the Virgen de La Paloma festival on August 15, when residents wear traditional chulapo and chulapa costumes through the streets.

The neighborhood offers numerous tapas establishments along Cava Baja and Cava Alta streets, with the El Rastro market operating every Sunday.

The Plaza de la Cebada has maintained its function as a food market since the fifteenth century, connecting present-day commerce with medieval trading traditions.
