The morning light slants through the narrow alleys of La Latina and the market stalls already call out with cheeses, jamón, and the sharp citrus of fresh olives. You begin at a stall in Mercado de la Cebada—warm bread in hand, a small glass of local wine lifted—and the neighborhood unfolds as a sequence of tavern doors, tiled facades and a crowd that moves at the rhythm of late lunches and long dinners.
