Tapas + beers = La Latina
La Latina is synonymous with going out for beers in Madrid. Weekends mean trying to get an elbow in to order at a bar, and booking in advance or arriving early for a table in a restaurant. The two main streets that are home to the majority of bars and restaurants are Cava Alta and Cava Baja, where the legendary Casa Lucio is located, made famous for their 'huevos estrellados' (eggs fried and broken up with other tantalising accompaniments, often potato and sausage). Walking through the barrio in summer you'll find it hard to walk a straight line without bumping into tables and chairs set out on the always-busy terraces. You’ll also find great bars for getting the drinks in, and venues where you can enjoy good music while you're prowling around at night.
