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.
Itinerary
12 guided stops on this route
Mercado de San Miguel
At the Mercado de San Miguel two people share two or three small plates. Prices are high. The iron market hall opened in 1916.
Plaza Mayor
On the Plaza Mayor the bars sell the calamari sandwich. Sharing one bocadillo is enough.
Casa Revuelta
Casa Revuelta has been a fixture since 1966. Order it first; torreznos or croquetas only if you are still hungry.
Calle Cava Baja
On the Cava Baja you hop between taverns. One ración feeds two as a bridge to the next square.
Plaza de la Paja
On the Plaza de la Paja olives and a vermouth are enough. Save heavier plates for the Mercado de la Cebada.
Mercado de la Cebada
Try a plate at a market bar or fresh seafood if a stall is cooking.
