What to expect
You'll start in one of Madrid's central neighbourhoods and move between bars on foot, stopping to order and taste small dishes at each spot—think jamón, croquetas, patatas bravas. Your guide explains what you're eating and why these particular bars matter to locals. After covering three districts and absorbing the rhythm of Spanish eating culture, you'll head to a tablao for the flamenco show. Expect passionate, skillful dancers in an atmospheric room; it's lively but intimate, not a tourist cattle market. The performance runs whilst you nurse your included drink.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; the route covers several kilometres on foot. Most bars are standing-room or small tables. The flamenco show typically starts around 21:00. Public transport is accessible if you need it. Tipping staff directly is optional but appreciated.
