⭐️The Original Madrid Tapas Crawl⭐️

A real local tapas-crawling journey based on traditional dishes. Over the course of three hours, we’ll visit four different spots: a market-cuisine restaurant, a well-known ice-cold beer bar popular with locals, a modern slow-food tavern, and a century-old bodega—all located in a high-quality, non-touristy tapas area that madrileños truly love. You’ll see people from Madrid enjoying real tapas, and you’ll feel like one of us. This experience is also a great option for teams, private groups, and team-building events, thanks to its fun, relaxed vibe and generous amount of food and drink. All the places we visit are family-owned, and I’m lucky to know the owners—José, Jesús, Josemi, and Paco—personally, for many years now. I grew up in this amazing district called Chamberí, and I’ve spent my life trying countless bars and dishes here, so I know them... in detail! There’s a lot of food included in the tour—10 to 12 tapas servings—so we recommend having just a light lunch beforehand! Other things to know Nº 1 overall Airbnb experience in Madrid Gratuities always accepted :) Children and babies are ALWAYS welcome. ANY DOUBT, please, contact us!
