Itinerary
Your tapas adventure kicks off in Plaza de la Villa, one of Madrid’s oldest squares. Start with a taste of the city’s rich history and its love affair with tapas!
We pass by Mercado de San Miguel, Spain’s first gourmet market, admiring its historic iron architecture and lively atmosphere from the outside. Due to its popularity and heavy crowds, we don’t enter, but it’s a great spot to learn about Madrid’s modern food scene.
Next, we dive into the vibrant barrio of La Latina, known for its lively food scene and rich history. We’ll visit a hidden gem of a restaurant—tiny, with just six tables—famous for traditional tapas with a creative fusion twist. It’s a local favorite with a buzzing atmosphere!
At our next stop, at Plaza Mayor, we’ll dive into Madrid’s rich history and food culture. Here, you’ll taste the city’s legendary garlic shrimp, sizzling and fragrant, served with freshly baked homemade bread and paired with white or red wine.
We’ll wrap up our tapas adventure with a sweet local dessert near Puerta del Sol, one of Madrid’s most iconic landmarks. After your final bite, your guide will walk you back to the square and share tips for what to see next—or help you find your way home, full and happy!
