About this tour
A 2–3 hour guided tapas crawl through three Madrid bars, tasting regional Spanish dishes and drinks paired at each stop. You'll start with Asturian cider and shared appetisers, move to a second bar for another drink and tapas, then finish with a final drink and shared dinner at a third venue. A guide explains the history and regional origins of dishes as you walk between spots. Suits anyone keen to eat and drink their way through Madrid's traditional bar culture, though you'll need moderate fitness for the walking.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at an agreed point and leads you to the first traditional tapas bar, where you'll order and share Asturian cider with the group alongside mixed appetiser plates. After 30–40 minutes, you'll walk to a second bar, order a drink of your choice (wine, beer, or sangria), and share another round of tapas. The guide will chat about Madrid and the dishes as you eat and drink. You'll then move to a third bar for the final stop, where you share a more substantial dinner—a variety of tapas plates—with one final drink included. The whole outing takes 2–3 hours depending on group size and pace.
Throughout, the guide provides context on each dish's regional heritage and why it matters to Spanish food culture. Drinks are ordered at the bar, though the first cider and all food are pre-arranged as part of the package.
