Activity itinerary

Madrid (Pass by)

Join us for a relaxed evening walking tour where you’ll stop at four classic Spanish bars and restaurants to sample authentic regional flavors. Depending on the day, you might enjoy chorizo cooked in cider, Galician-style octopus, Asturian cider, Andalusian sherry, or other local specialties. Along the route we will point out the main sights and give you fascinating enecdotes about the city and its history and culture. Your first drink and tapas at the first venue are included in the tour price (min 1 drink and 3 tastings). After that, the choice is yours — we will make personalised recommendations according to the tastes of the group, at the remaining stops. For a very full and satisfying night out, you should expect to spend €35–€40 per person.
