Walking loops in La Latina, Madrid

Sunday mornings the Rastro flea market floods La Latina's steep streets with everything — flamenco records, military surplus, doorknobs, someone's grandmother's silverware. By afternoon the crowds migrate to the tapas bars along Cava Baja, where each counter specializes and opinions about which is best are held with startling intensity. The medieval street plan predates logic, and the plazas connect via stairways and slopes that remind you Madrid is built on a plateau with ambitions.
