What to expect

In Spain, tapas encapsulate a social and cultural experience, ranging from intricate dishes to simple olives. They are typically enjoyed while standing at bars or small tables due to their informal nature.

Your Madrid tapas adventure begins at Plaza de la Villa, where you'll be introduced to the city's tapas culture. Afterward, you'll make your way to Mercado de San Miguel, Spain's pioneering gourmet market, offering a glimpse into its food selections and market customs. Your next stop is a local tavern beneath Plaza Mayor, where you'll sample Spanish cheese, tortilla de patata, and vermouth. In La Latina neighbourhood, Madroño liquor accompanies Spanish Chorizo. Returning to the historic part of Madrid, you'll relish a bocadillo de calamares with local beer in Plaza Mayor. An informative guide will point out interesting spots as you head to indulge in renowned shrimps paired with Spanish house wine.

Finally, your journey culminates at Puerta del Sol with a local dessert, and you'll receive assistance with directions or additional recommendations.
