Follow your nose
Lavapies is a
neighbourhood in Madrid; its name means ‘wash feet’, probably derived from the
ritual of washing feet before entering temples. It was not the smell of feet
that drew us here but rather the enticing aromas of food. Once a slum, Lavapies
is now known for its multicultural resident mix and its food markets. My friends
and I found our way here from out of the metro just by following the delicious
smells.
