Itinerary

Enjoy a drink and a tasty tapa or two at this first local bar. Your guide will explain each item as you enjoy them.
Enjoy a drink and a tapa at this second, smaller local bar on Calle Pelayo, a street with several bars, restaurants, and shops. The street is also known for the infamous High Heel Race during Madrid's annual Gay Pride.
Leave the restaurants and bars behind as you enter a neighborhood market for this fourth stop. This is where locals go for everyday groceries as well as gourmet items, or simply to eat and drink at the various food stalls.
