ABOUT THE ORIGINAL MADRID TAPAS CRAWL ADVENTURE

Madrileños love to eat traditional products and dishes from their beloved city. With this walking food tour we want you to feel like a local by experiencing picoteo in Madrid, the authentic and timeless art of bar-crawling and tapas sampling.

EAT LIKE A LOCAL, TRY PICOTEO IN MADRID

The origins of the word “picoteo” lie in the verb “picar,” which means eating small bites from several shared plates. This is also known as “tapeo,” or a tapas crawl. We want to share picoteo in Madrid with you!

In the early evening, we will take you on a tour to see the most emblematic highlights of one of Madrid’s most vibrant neighborhoods over three hours. Our culinary journey starts at a traditional bodega serving delicious Spanish tapas, a local favorite that’s been around for decades.

Over the next three stops, we will try some amazing meat and fish dishes from Madrid, along with some cold draft beer and local wines.

To conclude our picoteo in Madrid, we’ll finish at a traditional restaurant featuring cuisine from the north of Spain. An outstanding discovery, it’s a family-owned gem specializing in Galician-style tapas where you will enjoy incredible dishes, as well as luxurious desserts for a real and authentic gastronomic experience.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL MADRID TAPAS CRAWL ADVENTURE

TASTY TAPAS, REFRESHING DRINKS, AMAZING BARS, REPEAT!

Our Madrid picoteo includes five stops in one of Madrid’s most exclusive neighborhoods that are approved by local foodies.

• A full meal. Taste 10-12 tapas servings that are broadly equivalent to a full meal.
• Drinks. Have one drink at each stop, ranging from refreshing draft beer, excellent wines, and vermouth to non-alcoholic beverages. We will give you our recommendations as to which drink pairs with which dish, but ultimately you choose.
• Hand-picked places. Choosing the best bar in each area is not an easy task, even for a madrileño, due to the rich offering. We’ll do it for you by personally selecting the most authentic and exquisite stops, so all you have to do is to be hungry at the meeting point!
• Multilingual tours. We speak (upon request) English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese.
