What to expect
You'll walk between bars at a relaxed pace, stopping to eat and drink for roughly 20–30 minutes at each venue. The guide handles all reservations, so you simply arrive and sit. Dishes come in small portions designed for sharing—patatas bravas, croquettes, grilled pimientos, fried fish, paella, and a sweet finish. Drinks flow throughout: wine, cava, or vermouth paired to each course. Expect cobbled streets, Renaissance facades, and plenty of chat about local food culture. The walk covers maybe 1–2 km total.
Good to know
Inform the operator about dietary needs ahead of time; vegetarian options exist at each stop, but vegan and gluten-free cannot be guaranteed. Wear comfortable shoes for uneven medieval streets. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Come hungry—nine courses adds up.
