Huertas

You may be beginning to feel a little full by now but avoid the bread and leave some room for the last bar where we will try to book a table and sit down to finish off in a more relaxed fashion, often with some great seafood. On the way we will point out some more not-to-miss spots and some historical buildings such as the Spanish parliament etc. Our tour will end in this last bar and you should be very full. Depending on the night and group, you will probably have tried anywhere between 12 and 20 different dishes and have got a real feel for the Madrid culinary scene.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
