About this experience
This 3.5-hour walking food tour takes you through Madrid's Old Town, including Plaza Mayor and the Literary Quarter. A local guide escorts a small group to five authentic food stops where locals dine, sharing insights about each plaza's history. The tour starts at a wine bar decorated with comic-style art. You'll visit a tavern under Plaza Mayor, a famous calamari counter, and a Literary Quarter tavern established in 1906. The last stop features a buttercream-filled milk bun, located near Puerta del Sol. The experience includes five tastings and four drinks, such as cava, vermouth, and Tinto de Verano, making it a complete meal, so participants should arrive hungry.
