What to expect
You'll meet your guide early evening and begin walking through quieter streets toward the first bar. Each stop lasts 30–40 minutes; you'll order tapas from the counter or bar menu, chat with the staff, and taste what's good that day. Portions are small, so you'll genuinely sample variety across four venues rather than eat heavily at one. The group stays together but you're free to ask questions or linger. Expect standing room, counter service, and other locals eating alongside you.
Good to know
Tell the guide about dietary needs or allergies before you start. Wear comfortable shoes—you'll walk between bars across uneven pavements. Public transport is nearby if anyone needs to leave early. The pace is moderate but steady.
