Start your Madrid food tour by trying churros and chocolate at a neighborhood café (only for morning tours). For the 5 pm tours, begin at a tapas bar with two classic bites and a cold beer.

Follow locals as they pick up fresh bread from a small bakery run by a northern Spanish baker. Learn why great bread is rare in Madrid and taste a chorizo-stuffed roll.

Head to the Mercado de Antón Martín. Taste olives, cured meats, fresh produce, and extra virgin olive oil. Sip red vermouth while learning about this aperitif.

Visit a deli and enjoy a cheese tasting with two Spanish wines. Try Madrid’s famous fried calamari sandwich standing outside the bar like a local.

Finish at a royal pastry shop from 1855.
