Central Spain includes the cultural melting pot of Madrid and Castile. A down-tempo version of jota is common, as well as other dances as fandango, habas verdes, 5/8 charrada. Bagpipes are still used in northern León and Zamora provinces. Tabor pipe (in León) and dulzaina (a small shawm-like instrument) enjoy rich repertoires.[citation needed] Although dulzaina were popular in the folk music of Castile and León, the instrument is no longer manufactured and has become rare.[1]
The city of Madrid is known for keeping its own version of chotis music. Salamanca is home to tuna, a form of serenade played on guitar, bandurria and tambourine, traditionally by students in medieval clothing.
Castilian dances include:

- Baile a lo Alto
