Is there anything better on a cold winter day than freshly fried churros?! The key to this Madrid treat is to visit a churro café that fries each churro fresh to order. At Churrería 1883 (the first stop on our De Mercados tours!), Carlos knows all the secrets to making the perfect churro from scratch. His family has been doing it for 4 generations!

¡Salud to 2025! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for walking and eating across Madrid with us.

It is thanks to all of you that we get to have our dream job! We started Walk and Eat hoping that by showing visitors the bars, restaurants, plazas and markets that we love the most, they would adore our city and its food as much as we do. We never imagined just how many people that mission would connect with! We can't wait for all the delicious adventures that 2025 has in store for us!

Look who popped by to say "Hola"! One of our fabulous guides, Leire, spends her holidays visiting Mr. and Mrs. Claus up at the North Pole. They sent this holiday message for us! Merry Christmas from all of us here at Walk and Eat!

Madrid is all decked out for the holidays! Christmas lights hang over most streets and squares while pop-up markets selling everything from arts and crafts to nativity scene figures sprawl across most plazas. It is a fun and festive time to be in the city!

Enhorabuena to our guides Theo, Simon, Andrea and Oliver, all of whom have guided 100 or more Walk and Eat tours!!

Fun, fascinating, highly knowledgeable, helpful and "really informative in a pleasant way" are just a few of the ways that our guests have described them. They "made Madrid feel like home", were "generous with his knowledge and time" and "great with our 5 year old kiddo".

The heart and soul of our experiences is our guides. Thank you Theo, Simon, Andrea, Oliver and our whole incredible guide team for making Walk and Eat all that it is!!

The art (and tragedy!) of pairing wine and cheese is one of our favorite types of wine tasting! It not only combines our two favorite things -- unique, small production Spanish wines and rare artesanal cheeses -- but it gives us an excuse to spend time with the fabulous people at !

This delicious tasting is part of our De Vinos: Premium Wine and Tapas Tour. We also offer it as a stand-alone experience for larger groups (10+ guests). Get in touch for more information about our private tours and wine tastings!

🚨 Must Try Tapa Alert! 🚨 These sizzling garlic shrimp are one of Madrid's most iconic tapas. The legend goes that during the food shortages following the Spanish Civil War, tiny shrimp were one of the only foods that were cheap and plentiful. To make these little shrimp tapa-worthy, a now infamous tapas bar, Casa del Abuelo, filled a clay dish with olive oil, garlic and a cayenne pepper.

Once that flavor bomb was sizzling, they scooped in heaps of tiny shrimp and served the bubbling dish immediately, letting the shrimp cook as they traveled from the stove to table! Nowadays you can find gambas al ajillo on tapas menus across the city!

We are thrilled to have brought 1,000 guests to Madrid's best olive oil shop, La Comunal, so far this year! Did you know Spain produces a full HALF of the world's olive oil?!

On our De Mercados: Neighborhood Market and Food Tour we learn some very fun facts about Spanish olive oil while tasting 3 incredible extra virgin oils at this shop, which is 100% dedicated to Spain's spectacular olive oils.

Thanks to Pedro, Anna and Iñaki for helping us bring the delicious world of Spanish olive oil to life for our guests!

It's not an olive... it's not a pickle... it's a caper berry !
These "berries" are more-developed versions of the much better known caper. If you let a caper continue to grow and harvest it just before it blooms into a flower, you get a caper berry!

These tasty pickled treats are native to the Mediterranean. Here in Madrid you'll often see them among a heaping tapa of olives and pickles or on top of a tomato salad like the one we serve on our De Tapas in Malasaña: Evening Wine and Tapas Tour. There are few bites that pair better with a glass of Spanish vermouth than a briny caper berry!

Meet Pedro, our frutero in the Mercado de la Cebada. Pedro grew up in the market and tells the most incredible stories about what the market looked like back when he was a kid and his dad ran a fruit and vegetable stall there. Since Pedro has taken over the family business, he has expanded the offering and now sells everything from melon to marmalade!

On our De Historia in La Latina: Madrid Paella, History and Tapas Tour Pedro serves us his famous tomato salad, artesanal cheese and a glass of vermouth made right here in Madrid. We also get to hear a few of his stories about how this historic market has changed during his lifetime!

Carving the perfect slice of jamón isn't as easy as it looks! To best savor the flavors of Iberian ham, it should be sliced so thin you can almost see through it and should be the exact size and shape of your tongue. The sword-like knife is essential and incredibly sharp!

If there is a more delicious way to spend the morning with your family in Madrid, we don't know about! We loved showing the Walker Family the tastiest side of the La Latina neighborhood. From the local market where they tried the freshest tomatoes and artesanal cheeses to our top-secret spot for the best paella in town, our De Historia in La Latina: Madrid Paella, History and Tapas tour is a delicious way to see (and taste!) Old Madrid!

¡Salud! A glass of Spanish vermouth is one of our favorite ways to kick off the weekend. This wine-based beverage is often served right from the tap!

Spanish vermouth, unlike the Italian style that is often mixed into martinis or other cocktails, is meant to be drank straight and is sweet, tangy and herbaceous. It pairs perfectly with all things pickled as that vinegar pop of, for example, an olive or a pickled anchovy provides the perfect balance to the sweetness of the drink.

Vermouth is an essential part of our evening tapas tours! As the old Spanish wisdom says: if you start your meal with vermouth and end with a digestif, everything you can eat whatever you want in between!

Flamenco is one of the great treasures of Spain. On our De Jaleo: Evening of Tapas and Flamenco experience here in Madrid we visit an intimate flamenco theater with just 4 rows of seats. The theater is run by the artists themselves and their passion is palpable!

Níscalos are here! These delicious wild mushrooms have just started appearing in our local markets here in Madrid. Níscalos, aka saffron milk cap mushrooms, grow wild in the mountains to the north and west of the city. They are delicious when sauteed with olive oil and garlic, stuffed into cannelloni pasta with bechamel or topped with a fried egg. Níscalo season is the sign that fall has begun!
