Between bites, learn about Madrid’s landmarks including the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and Plaza de la Villa, as well as lesser-known enclaves in the historic center.

Itinerary
In a city that seems full of jamón shops, we’ll introduce you to a family-run gem stocked with blue-ribbon bites. Here it’s time for our ham challenge: a tasting of three of Spain’s most-renowned (and most expensive) cured hams. By the time we leave, you’ll have an understanding of the differences between them—and a favorite!
Duration: 25 minutes
Admission Ticket Included
Finally, we’ll clue you in on some local knowledge: Madrid’s signature sandwich is made with fried calamari! For a landlocked city, this may seem strange, but we’ll initiate you into the emblematic tradition. You’ll try this perfect combination of crispy and crunchy at the only restaurant in Plaza Mayor frequented by locals.
