What travelers think of our Spain experiences
What you’ll do
You’ll join one of our local Madrid hosts to enjoy what is obviously the best part of the day - the part where you do tapas (it isn’t something you go for, it’s something you do). The question isn’t if you do it (since the answer is always yes), it’s where to go.
You’re in luck since your host can’t wait to share with you some of their favorite tapas places. You know, the ones that are more secret than anything you’d find in a guidebook. All you need to do is let us know your vibe, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you see yourself in a sleek bar in upmarket Salamanca, an old-school vermouth bar in down-to-earth, humble and diverse Lavapiés, a quirky tapas bar in hip(ster) Malasaña or a market like Mercado de San Anton, which has three floors of gastro bliss, aka tiny bars where you can sample pinchos (tapas held together with a small stick)?
Would you like to drink an ice-cold caña (the local unit of beer), sip Spanish vermouth or try a regional wine? Do you want to feast on garlicky grilled prawns, the finest slivers of Iberian ham, deep-fried croquetas, or a more global take on traditional tapas?
You see, the choice is dizzying, so having a local to share the experience with will be like having a fairy godmother by your side. Flit between three or four bars for a varied experience or settle in at one you like the sound of; we just wish we could join you!
