Great to wander around in, to visit markets, little shops, have a drink in a local bar, stroll in quiet alleys, Latina is one of the typical neighbourhoods of Madrid.
Here, Madrid shows a genuine face. You can see original architecture, have a drink and something to eat in typical bars, meet ordinary Madrileños, visit covered permanent markets selling mostly fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and such. You can find truly specialized handicraft shops, invariably small, all with their distinct smell, often a friendly, old Madrileño or Madrileña in charge. I often can't help but think that they inherited their shop from their parents. Indeed, while I was once looking for a ceramics shop, it turned out that the owner had died, and therefore, the shop had had to close.
