La Latina & Lavapiés


It doesn't come much more traditional in La Latina than this tiled space with a marble bar and tostas (toasts; with bacalao, for example), raciones (such as jamón ibérico with wild mushrooms) and vermouth on tap. When busy, it has that unmistakeable buzz of a place beloved by locals whose attitude seems to be, 'Why change something this good?'.
