6th of November. Private evening tapas and wines tour of Madrid old town:
–
7:30pm: meet your personal local host at your accommodation (as long as it is located in one of the many areas of the city that are good for a tapas and wines evening. Otherwise, another meeting spot will be agreed upon) to go on a tapas and wines tour of Madrid old town.
Understanding how Madrid works when it comes to celebrating food can be one of the most revealing experiences of the culture of the city. The Spanish love their excellent food and they like to make a celebration out of every meal, together with family and friends and Madrid is a melting pot of people from all over the country. Food, conversation, wine, laughter and a magical common feeling of thankfulness combine in perfect harmony in Madrid bars to make tapas evenings memorable.
Tapas play a key role in the wide variety of options that the city has to offer gastronomy-wise. They are small portions of food that people usually have as an appetizer before a meal. However, especially when eating out, a meal can consist of several different tapas and this is exactly what this tour is about.
Your local Spanish foodie host will meet you at your hotel to take you on a tapas journey through 2 – 3 selected tapas bars of the city, during which you’ll be able to taste a selection of 6 – 9 different local tapas dishes, combined with the corresponding drinks. Along the tour, you’ll be explained about the hectic social life that Madrileños have and how most of it takes place around food in tapas bars.
The Spanish capital can be overwhelming when it comes to choosing a place to eat so this tour will allow you to relax and to enjoy the magnificent culinary and wine scene of the city, while you also learn about its particular character and identity, together with your local host.
10:30pm: end of your tapas and wines tour back at your accommodation (as long as it is located in one of the many areas of the city that are good for a tapas and wines evening. Otherwise, the tour will finish at the meeting point).
