Overview:
This is both a bar crawl and a tour of Madrid's great tapas bars; you can decide which emphasis you put on the night.
Tapas is the name for a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold, such as mixed olives and cheese, or warm, such as puntillitas, Andalusian battered, fried baby squid.
If it's tapas you want we take you to the tapas bars, but those who want only a bar crawl may decide against the food and double up on beers or wine! Either way, this is THE way to hit the ground running in Madrid with an expert guide to show you the best joints to get eating or just drinking.
Included:
- Stops in 5 bars. Standard Spanish bar measures apply: beers are "Caña" size (just under a half pint), and the total of food consumed, if you decide to go for the tapas throughout, is equivalent to a meal. You may also want to tipple on some of the local liqueurs and hooch that can really perk up the occasion!
Dress code:
- Night wear, good jeans ok
- Madrid door restrictions are generally relaxed but stags should avoid trainers and scruffy jeans.
Duration:
- Tapas tour 3 hours, then bars and clubs close late in Madrid (approx 6 am)
Note:
- Your group may go for a standard one drink + tapas in each bar, or double up on the drink and leave out the tapas. It's up to you!
- The tour starts at 7 pm
- Groups may be require to take public transport to meet our guide in central point, transport is not included as it depends on your hotel location. Most hotels are within walking distance of meeting points.
