Departure Point
C. del Príncipe, 28012 Madrid, Spain
Plaza de Santa Ana, 28012. Your guide will be standing in front of the statue of Calderón de la Barca (at the same end of the square as the large white hotel). Your guide will be holding a red Devour Tours tote bag or sign.
Calle de Sta. María, 30, 28014 Madrid, Spain First up on your Madrid morning food tour, you’ll unlearn everything you thought you knew about churros—and discover the real origins of chocolate—at a beloved neighborhood café serving up the best version of both in all of Madrid. 35 minutes
C. del León, 26, 28014 Madrid, Spain Next, you’ll set off to the next stop in many madrileños’ morning routines: buying bread for the day. At a tiny storefront managed by a passionate young baker from northern Spain, you’ll learn why good bread in Madrid can be surprisingly hard to come by—and taste for yourself why this spot is the exception, in the form of their delicious homemade chorizo-stuffed rolls. 15 minutes
C. de Sta. Isabel, 5, 28012 Madrid, Spain From there, it’s off to the market! You’ll explore the vibrant Mercado de Antón Martín as locals from all walks of life do their daily grocery shopping. Along the way, you’ll stop at a variety of stalls to taste their finest products: flavorsome olives, cured meats, locally sourced produce, and Spain’s very own liquid gold: extra virgin olive oil. You'll also sip Spain's favorite aperitif red vermouth and learn why it's special and when to drink it. 45 minutes
C. del León, 12, 28014 Madrid, Spain After tasting your way around the market, you’ll make your way to an unassuming neighborhood deli with a surprising past. It was here that the owner’s father held clandestine meetings to plot against Spain’s newly established dictatorship in the 1930s! Today, that same space is where you’ll sit down for a mini tasting of cheeses from around Spain paired with two different wines. As you snack and sip, you’ll discover the origins of each product and get insider tips for ordering wine in Spain. 45 minutes
C. de Botoneras, 6, 28012 Madrid, Spain The only thing you should eat around Plaza Mayor is your next bite: a calamari sandwich. You can find it almost anywhere in the surrounding area, but today you're trying the best one around, with calamari rings cooked to perfection in light, crunchy batter. Enjoy it standing outside the bar, just like the locals do. 35 minutes
C. Mayor, 10, 28013 Madrid, Spain Finally, you’ll finish your Madrid morning food tour on a sweet note at a pastry shop that’s been going strong since 1855. Opened by the Spanish queen’s own personal pastry chef, this incredible spot is seemingly hidden in plain sight. You might recognize this elegant shop from Spanish-American chef Jose Andrés' travel show, but we've known about this hidden gem for years! Here you’ll try a classic Spanish dessert with your choice of coffee or tea. 35 minutes

David, our guide is knowledgeable who gave us sufficient history to the places and the food that we had this morning. The tour was well-paced and he ended the tour by giving us some recommendations of food options that we can explore on our own. We enjoyed it ????
