Start in La Latina at 6 pm for 3.5 hours of tapas, Spanish wine, vermouth, and neighborhood history. With 12 people or fewer, you visit four food and drink stops, try the playful porrón, sample tostas and Madrid stew, and finish near the Cervantes statue.

“Loved learning the history of the literary district of madrid. Arantxa was entertaining, funny and a wealth of information! Food and wine were wonderful! i do think the experience could be different based upon the rest of the group. Unfortunately the people we were with brought children who were rightfully less than interested.”
