Tapas, Markets & Neighbourhoods tour in Madrid

What about living a local experience and get to know a bit more about our food culture? Do you want to see how local people live in Madrid? Are you curious to know where madrileños shop and what eating 'tapas' is like? Then this tour is for you! A local walking tour around the old downtown neighborhoods of Huertas, Lavapies & La Latina. Learning their history, visiting traditional taverns, food markets & trying different Spanish food samples and drinks. I have created this beautiful experience combining a bit of history and culture about the past and present of some of the most traditional and renown quarters in Madrid. I have selected some traditional taverns, bars, bakeries, cafes and markets to give you a full Food & Drink experience and have a glimpse about how "Madrilenian" culture is. *This tour does not operate on Sundays, Public Holidays & Saturdays evenings as the Markets are closed.

- We will start the tour with a bit of history and a sweet sample. Depending on your hotel location and starting time we will start from one area or the other. - I have selected a great variety of local taverns, food markets, groceries, bars and some traditional cafés where we can try some local sweets. - We will walk around Huertas quarter, also known as the Letters bohemian district. - We will cross and have a glimpse of Lavapies trendy neighborhood. - We will cover La Latina old town and will finish in Madrid city centre. - You will have the chance to try some cheese, ham, olives, croquettes, calamari, churros and more local food, and of course, some typical drinks such vermouth, wine or beer. * If you have a particular food or drink you will like to try, let me know. Although I have selected my own vendors I can always adjust customers preferences and dietary needs. *I can also arrange and tailor shorter tour versions: "Tapas & drinks", "Food Markets" or "Vermouth & Tortilla" options.
