Summary LPT0616_128.jpg

Overview

¡Buenos días to what’s about to be your dream day in Madrid! Just make sure to come hungry. That’s because today focuses on the heart of Spanish culture — and by heart, we mean your stomach. An expert local food guide will meet you this morning for an exciting and immersive culinary tour of Madrid’s most notable markets and street food stalls. For roughly two and a half hours, you’ll eat and drink your way through the city’s iconic Malasaña neighborhood First up? Breakfast at a historic neighborhood cafe. As you’ve already established, it’s a good morning but it’ll be an even better one with a café con leche or cortado in hand. Then, you’ll stroll through the neighborhood, stopping at a lineup of local shops for both stories and small bites. Notably, you’ll visit a historic fresh food market, where you’ll shop like a true Madrileño. Along the way, you’ll make new friends, including a generations-old jamón cutter, a friendly market chef specializing in paella, and a hilarious olive farmer. Fill your shopping bag with goodies as you move about the city, each custom packaged for the perfect snack or souvenir. That is, if you don’t eat them before they make it home. You'll finish the day with tapas and drinks at a local bar, before being set loose to enjoy Madrid at leisure this evening. (Breakfast, Lunch)
