Plaza Mayor

Your guide will take you to your first tapas stop, where you’ll enjoy one of Madrid’s most cherished traditions. More than a meal, tapas are about sharing, conversation, and community. Your guide will introduce you to regional specialties and the stories behind them—how they’re made, where they come from, and why they matter. Pair each bite with a local wine or beer, and begin to understand the flavors that define Madrid’s food culture. Next, walk through the grand arcades of Plaza Mayor, the city’s most emblematic square. Once the site of royal ceremonies, theatrical performances, and lively markets, this impressive space has seen centuries of Madrid’s daily life unfold.
