Overview

Step off the beaten path and experience Madrid like a local on this small-group food tour through the city’s most vibrant and historic neighborhood: Lavapiés. We’ll explore the flavors, stories, and streets that make this area so unique—far from the tourist traps, full of character and authenticity.

As we wander through Madrid’s oldest and most multicultural barrio, your guide will share fascinating stories—from the area’s roots to its evolution into one of the city’s most dynamic cultural hubs. Along the way, we’ll stop at four carefully selected eateries, each offering a different piece of Madrid’s culinary puzzle.

This tour is more than a meal—it’s a journey through history, tradition, and the flavors that bring people together.

    What To Expect

    Calle de Sta. María, 12

    We’ll kick things off at a cozy local tavern—one that perfectly captures the spirit of Madrid through both its flavors and atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where locals gather for a quick tapa and a glass of vermouth before lunch. We’ll take a moment to get to know each other while enjoying a homemade Spanish tortilla paired with a glass of house vermouth (as well as a surprise side dish!)—the perfect way to ease into the experience.
