1 hour (approximately)
Offered in: English

Hello, I'm Adriana, a madrileña and food lover. I also study history, so of course I value our museums, beautiful architecture. But for me, the best way of understanding a culture is through its food.
In Spain, it all starts in the produce market. So that's what we’ll visit: the local market in my neighbourhood. Just 10 minutes walking from Plaza Mayor, in La Latina.
Here, we'll go through the stands -and the history- that shape our cuisine. Fishmonger, vegetables and fruits, butchers, …
And I'll make sure you try the real icons of our gastronomy: 100% iberian ham, proper extra virgin olive oil, aged Spanish cheese, and seasonal produce.
Everything we taste along the way is included.
After we finish, you can choose to continue with a pairing lunch at 13:00 and 19:00 of 5 drinks, 6 tapas and dessert or with a cocktail pairing dinner at 21:00 of 3 drinks, seafood paella, tapas and dessert.
