Taste Madrid’s classic street food, hear local stories, and walk from Plaza Mayor to Puerta del Sol with a friendly guide.

Having olives included as one of the 3 stops in the markets was a waste of time when you see other more amazing products. The squid bun and chouros were great. The guide was also great but I guess he can only do what he is asked to do by who he works for!”
