Duration: 4 hours

We offer a service for those people who, after visiting the tourist sites (or working!) during the day, want to soak up the atmosphere and culture of the real Madrid in the evening. We will take you to sample traditional Spanish cuisine in some of the hidden corners of central Madrid, where the food and drink is fantastic, the atmosphere is buzzing and the prices are very reasonable.

We will help you choose your food and recommend local specialities whilst acquainting you with fascinating local facts and advising you on what must not be missed in Madrid. Not heavy history and a list of exact dates, what we tell you is mainly anecdotal! The aim of the evening is to leave clients with a real and lasting feeling for the city and its people, whilst eating and drinking really well.

Price: 44 euros

An example of an evening with our Tapas Walking Tour

First stop: an authentic Asturian bar, packed with Spaniards of every age and description. A great place to start the evening trying their specialties of cabrales (blue cheese), chorizo and cider, which is poured in a very original way!

Second Stop: a typical, very traditional 'fino' or Sherry bar. This hostelry has changed very little in the last century with standing room at the bar or seating at wooden tables at the back. 'Fino' and 'Manzanilla' Sherries of various hues and tastes are served by the glass or from bottles filled directly from the kegs. Drinks come with complimentary olives or bread sticks.

Next stop: this intimate local bar gives you a real taste of Madrid, with bulls' heads on the wall set off by various football shirts, and sawdust on the floor where locals deposit their olive pips before a final clear up at the end of the night. On the bar there is a huge selection of 'tapitas' and 'pinchos' (similar to canapes). Beside the bar is a model ship full of prawns, which are usually provided as your complimentary 'tapita' with drinks.

Final stop: a very popular bar/restaurant serving wonderful 'tostadas' and great salads, meats, cheeses and tapas. This is a fantastic eatery with very good quality, no nonsense food and a great atmosphere with orders being shouted from waiter to waiter to bar to chef!
