About this event
The biggest and most beloved of Madrid's August fiestas. La Latina fills with regional dances, zarzuela, pasodoble and chotis, mantón and traditional-dress competitions, live music, children's shows and stalls of classic Madrid food. The Vistillas gardens above the city host the largest stage, and the Virgin's procession on 15 August draws the whole neighbourhood into the streets.
Why we picked it
The definitive Madrid summer party — free, enormous and the single best-known date in the city's August calendar.
