Itinerary
Starting at San Miguel Square, your culinary journey will lead you through La Latina, Cava Baja, and Cuchilleros Streets, famous for their tapas culture.
Visit a local tavern to taste stuffed mushrooms and slow-cooked chorizo in cider with beer.
Enjoy a guided walk through the historic Madrid de los Austrias, passing iconic landmarks such as Mercado de San Miguel, Plaza Mayor, the legendary Restaurante Botín, Puerta Cerrada, and Calle Huertas.
Next, just steps from lively Huertas Street, we begin in a cozy “Casa de Comidas” — a renovated traditional bar — to taste tender Iberian pork cheeks (“Carrilleras”) with creamy smashed potatoes and a glass of red wine.
Walking through Las Letras neighborhood, Calle Huertas, Lope de Vega house museum, Plaza Santa Ana and Teatro Español
Then, we'll stroll through the vibrant Plaza de Santa Ana, past the historic Teatro Español, soaking up the atmosphere of one of Madrid’s liveliest areas. Our next stop features a classic Gambas al Ajillo — sizzling shrimp with garlic served in a clay dish.
And what better way to end this culinary adventure than by heading up to a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Madrid? Raise a glass of sparkling cava, toast to an unforgettable evening, and share stories with fellow travelers. Join us for this group experience, where every stop tells a story, every bite reveals a tradition, and every moment makes you feel like a true Madrileño.

5Madrid food and drink tour
Could not recommend this tour more! Be prepared: there is a lot of food so come hungry! The various stops highlighted the culinary beauty of Madrid and the drinks paired perfectly. Just the right amount of history and information on the area, and the walking in between was a nice break. Nothing was ever too far apart though. The tour guides were wonderful, knowledgeable, and had some options for those that didn’t want wine. Sign up for this one, you won’t be disappointed!

Luis was a fine host for this activity. Really enjoyed the first two stops. Third stop, our food was served after a long wait. No food served at final stop which surprised us. So the experience was a mixed bag.
