2.De Mercados: A Neighborhood Market and Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 237 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $139

Walk Madrid’s Malasaña with a local guide and stop six times for churros, coffee, jamón, olives, olive oil, tapas, and drinks. You’ll visit Mercado Barceló, hear neighborhood stories, and finish where you started. Guides may include Oliver, Amy, or Margit.

“What a fun tour. Go hungry as you’ll have plenty of foods to try. The churros and porros with chocolate sauce and coffee were an excellent ‘first’ breakfast. The savory breakfast of jamon and cheese and wine/beer was equally good. We visited the Mercado and had samplings of olives, anchovies and figs. One of the most interesting stop was to sample olive oils. We ended with a wonderful meal of warm tapas and more drinks. We didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day. I highly recommend this tour.”
