Madrid Food Tour: From Calamares to Churro, Self-Guided App Tour

About this experience

Madrid snacks standing up, and the whole route is built that way. It starts under the iron and glass of Mercado de San Miguel, then steps into Plaza Mayor for the squid sandwich the city eats leaning against an arcade. At Casa Revuelta the fried cod arrives boneless, because someone picks the bones out by hand every morning. Cava Baja strings tavern doors down into La Latina, Casa Alberto pours vermouth from its own line, and San Ginés has been dipping churros into thick chocolate since the late 1800s. Twelve stops, about 3.2 km. How it works This is a self-guided digital walking tour in the StepQuests mobile app. There is no live guide.
