Tapas, Taverns & History Tour

TOUR SNAPSHOT
Learn to do tapas like a local as you make your way through Madrid’s city center! In between four iconic Madrid tapas bars, you’ll hear the story of how Madrid went from a small village to the capital of one of the world’s greatest empires! Between sipping Spanish wine and devouring the best of Madrid’s tapas, your expert guide will bring the city’s fascinating history to life as you wind in and out of grand plazas and mystery-filled streets.

STOP-BY-STOP

Start your night by popping into a hidden family-run ham haven, where you’ll sip cava (Spanish sparkling wine) and taste the very best jamón ibérico de bellota and cured meats from across Spain.

Next up is Madrid’s royal palace, where you’ll get a mini-lesson on how Madrid was founded. As you wander through the oldest part of Madrid—the Habsburg neighborhood—you’ll discover its hidden squares and secrets.

The next tapas bar is known for one thing—fantastic grilled mushrooms! While here, you’ll learn what most locals drink (it’s NOT sangria!) as you enjoy its famous mushrooms and Padrón peppers.
As you make your way to the third tapas bar of the night, you’ll pass through two of Madrid’s key squares as your guide brings more of Madrid’s storied past to life.

At the third tapas bar, a famous historic wine bar full of atmosphere, you’ll taste delicious home-cooked tapas and enjoy them with delicious local wine.

To end the night with a bang, you’ll head to an incredible, unique tapas bar (which holds an amazing secret) to enjoy modern tapas (including the country’s finest cut of grilled pork) and sip wines, before rounding the evening off with a decadent dessert.

And as with all Devour Madrid tours, your guide will give you a copy of our Devouring Madrid guide, which is packed with all our favorite places to eat and drink in the city! So put down your guidebook and get ready to experience Madrid like a local!
