Explore the diverse flavours of traditional Madrid cuisine with a local guide. The selection of dishes varies depending on the season and availability, but there will be at least four tantalising stops.
You might savour gambas al ajillo, prawns sautéed in a fragrant blend of olive oil, garlic, and a hint of red pepper. Or perhaps you'll sample the internationally renowned Spanish potato tortilla, a versatile dish that shines as a side, hot dish or starter. Another potential delight is the bocadillo de calamares, a popular Madrid street food. This simple yet satisfying sandwich features a crusty baguette filled with tender, fried calamari rings, often enjoyed with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of aioli or spicy sauce.
You may also get to taste Madrid's traditional cold cuts. From the delicately spiced cebo to the tender marinated pork loin known as lomo, these dishes offer a variety of textures and flavours. The smoky chorizo adds a kick to any dish while the seasoned salami, salsichón, rounds out this selection with its robust taste.
And let's not forget dessert - the iconic churros con chocolate. These long-shaped doughnuts, fried to perfection and served with a cup of hot chocolate, are a must-try treat at any time of day in Spain. This gastronomic tour promises a memorable exploration of Madrid's culinary tradition, one bite at a time.
