Eating Madrid: Food Walking Tour, Small-Group Tapas and Wine
Discover Madrid’s food culture on a three-and-a-half-hour small-group walking tour through the historic Old Town and Literary Quarter. Led by a local English-speaking guide, visit five food spots frequented by locals, beginning at a comic-book-themed wine bar with Iberian ham and cava. Along the way, enjoy traditional Spanish favorites, including tomato bread, garlic mushrooms with chorizo, Padrón peppers, and a crispy fried calamari sandwich from the popular La Campana counter, with skip-the-line access.
Continue through iconic locations such as Plaza Mayor, Plaza de Santa Ana, and Puerta del Sol, stopping at historic taverns for garlic fried shrimp and drinks, including vermouth, local beer, sweet wine, or Tinto de verano. Finish the walk with a soft milk bun filled with buttercream. The small-group setting offers time for questions, local stories, and conversation. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free alternatives are available with advance notice at booking.
Duration: 3 hours and 30 minutes
