About this tour
This session works through La Latina's tapas bars, from the Cava Baja to smaller counters nearby. You see huevos rotos, a properly runny tortilla de patatas and vermut poured straight from the tap. It is five bars and five dishes, chosen for what locals actually order.
The guide opens with a sound check, then moves bar to bar, showing each dish as it is ordered and explaining what makes it right. Questions come in as the walk goes, and a shortlist of the bars follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone wanting to know what to order in a Madrid tapas bar before going themselves. It also suits viewers who already love Spanish food and want the details behind it.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Madrid before heading out.
-
Cava Baja bar counter 21 min
On the Cava Baja, the guide orders huevos rotos, broken eggs over crisp potatoes, and shows how the dish is meant to be mixed at the table. He explains why this street became La Latina's tapas spine.
-
Tortilla and gildas 21 min
At a second bar, the guide cuts into a tortilla de patatas kept deliberately runny in the middle, then points out a gilda, the skewered pickled pepper and anchovy. He explains what separates a proper version of each from a tourist one.
-
Vermut de grifo 21 min
The camera settles at a bar pouring vermut de grifo straight from the tap, alongside a caña served at the right temperature. The guide runs through the five bars and five dishes covered on the walk, all off any tourist menu.
-
Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Madrid: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Cocido madrileño and Malasaña, worth a slower look.
