Our guide to Markets of Madrid - Small Group Tour

This jam-packed Madrid tour kicks off at the spot where the city was founded – and what better place to start! There, you’ll meet your local guide, who will begin by giving an introduction and feel for the city of Madrid.

It starts with a sweet treat for breakfast to give you some energy for the rest of the tour. Then, wander along to the bustling, bohemian neighbourhood of La Latina, which was the centre of the settlement and is now full of charming coffee shops and traditional restaurants. With the help of your local tour leader, you’ll stumble upon all the little gems La Latina has to offer, such as 17th century old inns transformed into chic trendy hotels, or the biggest flea market of the country, the famous Rastro Market.

Next up, head to Lavapiés, Madrid’s multicultural neighbourhood. Home to the original born-and-raised Madrileños, a name for the people of Madrid, this area has now turned into a fusion of all kinds of world cultures. African restaurants rub shoulders with Asian shops and Indian cafés, and local traditions mix with what’s hot on the alternative art scene. Take your time to get to know Lavapiés by visiting an old food market that is being transformed into an icon of the city’s food scene thanks to the young local residents.

There, you will get to discover some historical treasures of the area such as an old religious school from the 18th century, or the traditional patio houses of the neighbourhood that are slowly disappearing today.

This Madrid tour finishes with a visit to another lively food market and arts centre, where you’ll learn about gypsy and flamenco culture in Madrid while tasting some samples of the fantastic Spanish cuisine.
