Immerse yourself in the true spirit of Madrid on a small-group tapas and wine tour, starting at San Miguel Square. Your culinary journey will lead you through La Latina, Cava Baja, and Cuchilleros Streets, famous for their tapas culture. Enjoy your first stop with traditional mushrooms or Padrón peppers, paired with a cold beer or cider.

Walk through Plaza Mayor and the Literary Quarter, discovering the charm of historic taverns and hidden gems.
Just steps from lively Huertas Street, we begin in a cozy renovated traditional bar to taste tender Iberian pork cheeks with creamy mashed potatoes and a glass of red wine. Then, we will stroll through the vibrant Plaza de Santa Ana to enjoy classic Gambas al Ajillo—sizzling shrimp with garlic served in a clay dish. And what better way to end this culinary adventure than by heading up to a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of Madrid? Raise a glass of sparkling cava, toast to an unforgettable evening, and feel like a true Madrileño in this experience where every stop tells a story and every bite reveals a tradition.
