About this tour
Spend an evening noshing through Madrid's oldest neighbourhood, stopping at five traditional bars and bodegas to eat and drink like a madrileño. Start in Plaza de la Villa and wind through La Latina's narrow streets, tasting Ibérico ham, gambas al ajillo, vermut on tap, regional wines and a proper Spanish pudding. Your guide steers you towards places where locals actually gather, away from tourist traps. The food and drink add up to a full meal.

What to expect
You'll cover about a mile on foot at an easy pace, pausing frequently to eat and drink. Each of the five stops—a mix of proper tabernas, a wine bodega, and neighbourhood bars—serves a different component of your evening meal. You're not rushed; the guide hangs back and lets you soak in the atmosphere. Expect standing room at some venues and a mix of locals and travellers. The drinks flow freely (vermut, wine, Tinto de Verano), so pace yourself. Weather permitting, much of the evening happens on narrow cobbled streets with minimal shelter.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes. The route may shift depending on which bars are busy or closed that night, but quality stays consistent.
