What to expect

Expect a steady amble through Santiago's medieval quarters with frequent stops. Your guide will introduce you to bar owners and kitchen staff, explaining ingredient choices and cooking methods as you eat. The pace is leisurely—you'll spend time at each venue rather than rushing through. Tapas arrive in manageable portions, building into a proper meal across the four stops. Drinks flow steadily, paired thoughtfully with what you're eating. The atmosphere is social and conversational; you're learning how locals actually eat, not performing tourism.
