Madrid

You'll start in a historic pastry shop to enjoy a seasonal pastry. Followed by a visit to a deli over 180 years old, here we'll sample two types of Iberian ham, manchego cheese and extra virgin olive oil. You'll dine on a classic deep fried squid sandwich, a local favorite. We'll eat one outstanding tapa and share a bottle of Spanish cider. Taste a vermouth with the tapa of the day, a favourite with the locals. Finish the tour inside a restaurant that is located inside an 18th century building with a piece of Spanish omelette and the Secret Dish that changes every day.
