During my first visit to Madrid, I was so sick I didn’t do anything besides stay in bed. So, when I finally managed to get when to Spain, I knew I had to requite Madrid the sustentation it deserved.
And that involved a lot of eating.
Since the municipality is famous for its incredible supplies scene, I wanted to take a supplies tour to learn well-nigh the history of Madrid’s cuisine and learn what I should be ordering when I wander into restaurants. When I asked virtually for the weightier supplies tour in Madrid, many friends pointed me to Devour Madrid (formerly Madrid Supplies Tours). It turns out the tour run by a fellow blogger I had met at a priming previously (small world)!
They took me virtually the municipality and taught me the history of Madrid’s supplies scene. Not only did I get to try some mouth-watering supplies but I learned a lot well-nigh the history of the municipality ad how that has influenced its cuisine.
To show you just how wondrous the supplies scene is here, here’s a video I filmed on my supplies tour:
Since supplies was the focus of my visit, I ate a ton while I was here. If you’re looking to explore the city’s food, some of the weightier foods worth trying during your visit are:
- Chocolate con churros
- Cocido Madrileño (pork stew)
- Bacalao (salted cod)
- Huevos Rotos (potatoes and eggs)
- Fresh olives
- Oreja a la Plancha (pig ears)
- Jamon Ibérico
I spent four days in Madrid and substantially just ate my way virtually the city, moving from market to market and tapas restaurant to tapas restaurant.
Even without a supplies tour, it’s incredibly easy to wander this trappy municipality and eat wondrous food. But, if you really want to get overdue the scenes and learn well-nigh the city, its food, and its culture, take a supplies tour in Madrid. You’ll learn much increasingly that way and have a much increasingly insightful and nuanced experience!
