About this tour
Madrid snacks standing up, and the whole route is built that way. It starts under the iron and glass of Mercado de San Miguel, then steps into Plaza Mayor for the squid sandwich the city eats leaning against an arcade. Self-guided in the StepQuests app: GPS between stops, stories you read on your phone.
