![]() Plaza de la Paja is one of the main points of action during the Fiestas de la Paloma. Sip a vermouth or limonada in Plaza de la Paja If you´re in town for a while, check out one of the several tour companies that run tapas tasting routes throughout La Latina, highly recommended for any foodies visiting the city. My favorite spot for pinchos is Txirimiri, just outside of the Plaza de la Cebada. Head down Calle Cava Baja and the surrounding streets on any Sunday afternoon and you´ll find swarms of hungry Spaniards crowding in for a snack, a clara con limónand a few laughs with friends.Īll of the tapas and pinchos will be out on display at the bar, so you just have to squeeze up to the front to order your drink, point to what you want and enjoy. If there´s one thing that La Latina is famous for, it´s the tapas.

So grab your dancing shoes and your favorite abanico (hand fan), because this is one festival you don´t want to miss! While all three festivals are a blast, La Verbena de la Paloma is by far the most well-known and celebrated, and it´s by far my favorite. Where: La Latina, the chic, classic barrio famous for its tapas, terraces and timeless charm. Where: Lavapiés, the hip, multicultural neighborhood known for its hippies, dreadlocks and tasty south Asian and Senegalese restaurants. Where: Embajadores, along Calle Embajadores and the areas used for the weekly Sunday Rastro market. There are 3 big verbenas, or festivals, in the southern barrios of central Madrid, and they´re celebrated one right after the other. What can I say? I guess I like a good party too! Las Verbenas de Agosto in MadridĪ verbena is essentially a massive block party, complete with street food, summer booze, live music, DJs, dancing and good times for everyone from baby to abuelo. It´s been a few years since I officially lived in Madrid, but I visit often and almost always plan a trip for La Paloma and the Verbenas de Agosto. Outside of the crowds at the verbenas in the south, the city is seemingly empty and holds a whole different vibe than the hustle and bustle of any other time of year. If you can stand the heat, August in Madrid is magical. While most people high tail it out of Madrid every August to escape the city heat, I always pop in to enjoy #summerinthecity sans the usual hustle and bustle ☀️ I never miss the #fiestas in the south of the city, especially #lapaloma in #lalatina #fiestadelapalomaĪ post shared by Erica | Get Lost! □✈️✌ on at 5:44am PDT
