Lavapiés

Lavapiés ([ˌlaβaˈpjes]) is a historic neighbourhood in the city of Madrid, Spain. It is located in the administrative ward (barrio) of Embajadores in the downtown Centro District, southeast of neighbouring neighbourhood La Latina.

The name literally means "wash feet", possibly in reference to the fountain in Plaza de Lavapiés which no longer exists.
