Itinerary

  • Plaza de la Villa

    Your tapas adventure begins in Plaza de la Villa, the old main square in central Madrid. You will get a brief introduction to the city and its tapas credential.

    15 minutes

  • Mercado San Miguel

    We will head towards Mercado de San Miguel, the first gourmet market in all of Spain, for the first of many food tastings. Here we’ll start with an aperitivo, what else?! We’ll try traditional vermouth or Spanish wine, and we’ll taste some delicious Spanish cheese at one of the best cheese stalls in the market.

    45 minutes

  • La Latina

    Next, we’ll head to the pulsating barrio of La Latina to explore its narrow lanes and fascinating history. This neighbourhood is ultra trendy right now and is popular with locals for its vibrant food and drink scene. We will visit a tiny, off the beaten path restaurant that is well known for their traditional tapas dishes - with a fusion twist. This tiny spot only has 6 tables so it’s always busy and it has a great atmosphere!

    1 hour

  • Plaza Mayor

    Our next stop is Plaza Mayor where we'll chat about the city’s history and food culture. We will try the iconic bocadillo de calamares, the famous sandwich of the city. To wash it down, we’ll try some local beer too! We’ll also try some of Madrid’s most famous croquettes at a heritage tavern that was originally built in 1860 and only specializes in these special potato treats.

    40 minutes

  • Puerta del Sol

    After that we will walk towards Puerta del Sol, one of the most iconic spots of Madrid and finish our tapas adventure with a local dessert. Once you’ve finished your dessert, your guide will take you back to Puerta del Sol, where they can help you out with directions back to your accommodation or ideas on where to go next!

A Tapas Journey Through Madrid

Published on Dec, 2024

I recently joined the Food on Foot Tapas Adventure with a Local in Madrid, and it exceeded all my expectations. This tour is a must for anyone who loves good food, great company, and a deeper understanding of local culture. My guide, Patricia, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history and traditions behind tapas. She effortlessly blended storytelling with food, making each stop feel like a unique adventure. The tour took me to five carefully selected locations, each offering its own take on traditional and modern tapas. What made this tour even better was the chance to explore hidden gems and local favorites that I might have missed otherwise. The pairing of food with drinks was thoughtfully done and elevated the experience. If you’re in Madrid and looking for a fun, delicious, and culturally enriching experience, this tapas tour is a no-brainer. I left with a happy stomach, new friends, and a deeper appreciation for the art of tapas. Highly recommended!

Taste of Madrid

Published on Nov, 2024

Aafke was awesome with our private tour. Family of 12… and was incredibly knowledgeable on …of course Madrid culture and history but most important made our taste buds soar with a true TASTE of Madrid and gave us the history and recipes of every place we went to! Highly recommend Urban Adventures and Aafke!
