Spain Overview
Madrid has many official
sights to offer, many places of interest that you can find in any travel
guide, but also take some time to see the old part of the city. Discover
hidden parks, small shops where artisans make and sell their wares, or colourful
decorations on walls in the old neighbourhoods of La Latina, Lavapies and
Rastro.
In these areas you can: see Madrid's original architecture, have a drink
and something to eat in typical bars, meet ordinary Madrileños, visit
covered markets selling mostly fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and such.
Probably the best attraction of Latina is to just stroll around, letting
the neighbourhood get at you. Just walking the narrow streets and alleys,
go with the flow, as if you were a boat on a river, always being pushed
forward by the current. In Lavapiés, you can have a kebab out on
the street, listen to the drummers in the square or simply have a beer at
some bar where the furniture seems to have been collected from people's
living rooms.
Aside from the ethnic and original Madrid ambience that Rastro shares with
Lavapies and La Latina, Rastro is home to El Rastro, the biggest and most
varied open market in Madrid. The Rastro is a famous flea market that opens
on Saturdays and Sundays between the Plaza de Cascorro, La Latina and the
street of Embajadores. Everything imaginable can be found here from valuable
antiques to used clothing, including collector cards, books, records, paintings,
etc. The side streets also teem with bars and cafes where you can take refuge
after a hard day's shopping.
And finally, a word about Madrid's nightlife, if you are finished and ready
to go home at 4 a.m., you'll probably be the first one to bed. According
to the Madrid tourist board a good night out ends at around 7 a.m. after
visiting at least 5 different night spots.
Madrid
has some of the best all-night entertainment in all Spain and you'll never
be stuck for somewhere to go at just about any hour of the day.
