What to expect
Get a crash course in Spanish food and culture as you taste your way through the market stalls, pastry shops, and local eateries of central Madrid's most charming neighbourhoods.
First up on your Madrid morning food tour, you’ll unlearn everything you thought you knew about churros—and discover the real origins of chocolate—at a beloved neighbourhood café serving up the best version of both in all of Madrid.
Next, you’ll set off on the next stop in many madrileños’ morning routines: buying bread for the day. From there, it’s off to the market! You’ll explore the vibrant Mercado de Antón Martín as locals from all walks of life do their daily grocery shopping. Along the way, you’ll stop at a variety of stalls to taste their finest products: olives, cured meats, locally sourced produce, and Spain’s very own liquid gold: extra virgin olive oil. You'll also sip Spain's favourite aperitif red vermouth and learn why it's special and when to drink it.
Finally, you’ll finish your Madrid morning food tour on a sweet note at a pastry shop that’s been going strong since 1855. Opened by the Spanish queen’s own personal pastry chef, this incredible spot is seemingly hidden in plain sight. You might recognize this elegant shop from Spanish-American chef Jose Andrés' travel show, which will make your tour even more special!
