Madrid’s culinary scene is centered around sharing. Tapas are small plates of food served with drinks, perfect for hopping from one bar to another. Start your tour at Mercado de San Miguel, a historic iron-and-glass market packed with gourmet food stalls. Try ‘Patatas Bravas’ (crispy fried potatoes with a spicy tomato aioli sauce), garlic shrimp, and Spanish tortilla. For dessert, visit San Ginés, Madrid’s most famous chocolatería open 24/7, serving hot thick chocolate with crispy churros.
