# Madrid Street Food Guided Tour: San Miguel Market & City Center

**Guidekin's take:** A two hour street food walk that starts inside the San Miguel market and continues through the centre: a Madrid-style sandwich, pintxo, cheese or olives, a churro and wine along the way at €52 per person. Compact and central, built for first evenings.

## Overview

Join us on a flavorful street food walking tour through the heart of Madrid, guided by a passionate local who will share the city’s culinary secrets and hidden corners.

We’ll begin inside the bustling Mercado de San Miguel, sampling a variety of traditional tapas while exploring its lively stalls and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of one of Madrid’s most iconic markets.

From there, we’ll stroll through the historic Plaza Mayor, taking in its stunning architecture and timeless charm.

Stop for one of Madrid’s most iconic bites – a freshly made, crispy calamari sandwich – before continuing along Calle Mayor, discovering century-old plaques and hidden stories that most visitors miss.
A sweet treat follows with a churro generously covered in rich chocolate.
The tour ends at Puerta del Sol. Come hungry, and leave happy!
