The existence in the Milky Way of either a long thin bar with a half length of 4.5kpc and a position angle of around 45{deg} with respect to the Sun-Galactic centre line or a bulge+bar complex, thicker and shorter, with a smaller tilt respect to the Sun-GC line, has been a matter of discussion in recent decades. In this paper, we present low resolution (R=500) near-infrared spectra for selected and serendipitous sources in six inner in-plane Galactic fields at l=7{deg}, 12{deg}, 15{deg}, 20{deg}, 26{deg} and 27{deg}, with the aim of analysing the stellar content present in those fields.
