Itinerary

• (Pass by)

  Join us for a relaxed evening walking tour where you’ll stop at four classic Spanish bars and restaurants to sample authentic regional flavors. Depending on the day, you might enjoy chorizo cooked in cider, Galician-style octopus, Asturian cider, Andalusian sherry, or other local specialties. Along the route we will point out the main sights and give you fascinating enecdotes about the city and its history and culture. Your first drink and tapas at the first venue are included in the tour price (min 1 drink and 3 tastings). After that, the choice is yours — we will make personalised recommendations according to the tastes of the group, at the remaining stops. For a very full and satisfying night out, you should expect to spend €35–€40 per person.

  You may be beginning to feel a little full by now but avoid the bread and leave some room for the last bar where we will try to book a table and sit down to finish off in a more relaxed fashion, often with some great seafood. On the way we will point out some more not-to-miss spots and some historical buildings such as the Spanish parliament etc. Our tour will end in this last bar and you should be very full. Depending on the night and group, you will probably have tried anywhere between 12 and 20 different dishes and have got a real feel for the Madrid culinary scene.
