True Madrid Tapas: Off Cava Baja & Historic La Latina

Location Madrid, Spain, Europe
$134.81
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after they redeem the gift voucher.

Overview

Avoid the overcrowded Cava Baja and discover the soul of historic Madrid. This small-group walking tour—strictly limited to 6 people—will take you through the hidden medieval streets of the La Latina neighborhood, passing by Plaza de los Carros, Plaza de la Paja, and the serene Jardín del Príncipe de Anglona.

We will immerse ourselves in the authentic culture of Spanish taverns. We begin at the traditional *aperitivo* hour—around 1:00 PM—or in the evening, starting around 7:30 PM (just as the locals do). You’ll enjoy your snacks while standing—elbow-to-elbow—at lively wooden bars, focusing on the most genuine local flavors (you won’t find typical clichés like sangria or paella here).

Note: This experience is designed for travelers eager to embrace local customs. Standing for parts of the tour and dining at later hours are all part of the authentic Madrid tradition.
