10 Things to do in La Latina That You Shouldn't Miss
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

This street was one of the highlights of our trip to Madrid. It might only be a relatively short street but it’s one of the best. It’s a warren of tapas bars, with around 50 or so in the one small area. We started at one end and made our way along them, picking and choosing in a random sort of way. The street follows the curves of the original 12th-century city wall and in some of the bars like Posada del Dragon, you can still see remains of some of the wall. Our top three places were: 1. La Concha 2. Pousada del Dragon 3. Casa Luca La Concha was our absolute favourite. A tiny place full of character that served an amazing vermouth cocktail and complimentary tapas. They make their own vermouth which they sell at €12 a bottle. We left with our backpack clinking because we'd bought two. GETTING THERE: 5 min walk from Plaza Mayor

This museum of a bit off the beaten tourist path and well worth your time if you love history. It focuses on history in the Madrid area from prehistoric times until about when the Royal Court began calling Madrid home. You'll learn about a mammoth miracle, see the well where San Isidro performed his miracle, see relics from the time the Romans controlled Madrid, and much more. It is free to enter and the information is in Spanish and English. This is definitely somewhat of a hidden gem.

Had a great time walking thru the market, and couldn't resists a few more pairs of earrings and some pottery. There is quite a mix of items for sale, from old junk, records, books, clothing, pottery, jewelry, scarves, and tourist stuff. Some vendors take credit cards, but many do not, so have cash on hand (The ATM was a long walk away). If you are there on a Sunday, do not miss it.
