The tour starts in Plaza Santa Ana and walks through the Barrio de las Letras. Past Cervantes' house and walk through streets where Madrid's literary history lives on before arriving at Alfonso's churro shop. This is not one of the big tourist-facing churrerías. The churros are fried fresh, the hot chocolate is thick enough to stand a spoon in, and Alfonso is behind the counter. Your guide will explain why this is breakfast in Madrid, not dessert.
A few streets away, a small, independently owned bakery brought sourdough traditions from Galicia to a neighborhood increasingly full of chains. Still here, still baking, still supplying the street.
Dietary Needs: Please let us know when you book. We can adapt the tour for vegetarians, pescatarians, pregnant guests, and those with dairy-free requirements or non-celiac gluten sensitivities. See the FAQs for more details.
"The vendors still remember our very first groups. That's the kind of relationship you can't fake."
