    Get a quick yet authentic insight into Spanish culture, history, and gastronomic tradition on this 3.5-hour walking tour. The guides are Madrid-born connoisseurs with a deep knowledge of Spanish culture, history, and traditions. They enjoy cooking and know all there is to know about tapas. Tapas culture involves ancient and vibrant social traditions passed down from parents to children, generation after generation. Conversations about life combine with fantastic Spanish wines and food. For centuries Madrid has had the benefit of the finest products from farms and the bounty from the seas, including the Mediterranean, Cantabrian, and Atlantic.

    Good intro to Madrid

    Our guide Maria, gave a good introduction to Spainish wines, filled us in on the different grades of Iberian ham and showed us a great place to have chocolate and churro. Stopped for seafood tapas as well. All in all, an informative and enjoyable evening. Would highly recommend for a start to a Madrid stay.

    Really fantastic tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone who really loves food and wine, as both are excellent. The group size was perfect 3 couples and the 6 of us were made to feel very welcome, we really learnt a lot about the food the regions of Spain and Spanish life. I can’t recommend this tour enough our best Spanish tour.
