Begin your adventure at Plaza de la Villa, the old main square located in the center of Madrid. Make your way to the iconic San Miguel Market, the country's first gourmet market, and pamper yourself with a delicious appetizer. No visit to the market would be complete without a traditional vermouth accompanied by some of the most succulent olives you've ever tasted. Spain is a significant cheese producer, offering delights such as Manchego, Mahón, or the exquisite Idiazábal, which pairs perfectly with a glass of wine.
Next, head to the lively La Latina neighborhood and venture through its narrow streets while uncovering its fascinating history. Visit a small restaurant known for its traditional tapas dishes with a modern fusion twist and get ready to experience the bustling atmosphere of Madrid. Back in the oldest part of Madrid, you will continue learning about the city's history and gastronomy while discovering some local artisan shops perfect for getting an original handmade souvenir. And what would a gastronomic tour of Madrid be without trying the iconic calamari sandwich in the heart of Plaza Mayor? Moreover, if you pair it with a local beer, you'll have the ultimate gastronomic experience. As you wander the streets, the guide will provide you with tips on the most interesting places and alternative stops that you shouldn't miss while in Madrid. The penultimate stop of the day is a traditional tavern specialized in potato croquettes, serving the tastiest croquettes in the capital since 1860. End the tour on a high note while sampling a local dessert accompanied by a sweet wine in a historic venue run by the same family for over a hundred years.
