Itinerary
We visit four of Chueca's best neighborhood bars to taste a variety of tapas & soak up its fascinating atmosphere. Each bar is unique so get ready to see a variety from the oldest in the district (105 years) to my secret modern bar that is so hidden that I know you have never been there before! Arrive hungry, we will have at least 8 Tapas, including many classics like: Spanish Omelet, Croquettes, Patatas Bravas, cheese, vegetarian options, & also some surprises that I promise that you never tried before. We are also going to do some drink and Tapa pairings. Whilst bar hopping, we'll tell you tales from Chueca's history, the origins of its LGBTQ past and present and let you into some of its hidden secrets! We even visit the first gay bar in Madrid. Do this early on your trip to Madrid becuase I will share many tips on how to work a Tapas bar, to get better value for money, some do's and don't's, and how to identify good Tapas bars, how to order, and finally the best bit... how to eat
