You never really get to know a country unless you live it to the full, and that includes eating and drinking like the locals.
You are what you eat, as they say. In this Spanish Food & Wine section of GoMadrid, we'll help you get to know the delights of
Spanish cuisine.
If you're coming to Madrid hoping to sample Spanish products "in situ", then check out our delicious new
Tapas Tours
(for 3 guests or less). For groups of 4 or more, our
Tapas Event can't be beaten as an occasion to sample the finest
Spanish tapas at a beautiful location. Or read our helpful guide to
Madrid Restaurants, including the famous
Botin Restaurant - the oldest restaurant in the world.
Maybe you'd like to combine your meal with some flamenco? In that case nothing better than a visit to the
Corral de la Moreria tablao restuarant.
We also offer our visitors the chance to sample some excellent Spanish wines with our
Wine Tasting Programmes, including an informal Monday Evening Session for just 15 euros per person, or a more comprehensive class with a wider variety of Spanish wines which will provide you with a complete introduction to the quality wines of Spain available today.
Alternatively, our professional
wine tours are an option for those wishing to see Spain's wine-producing regions first-hand.
If you'd like to purchase some fresh produce to try at home, take
back to your
hotel or buy as gifts for friends, don't miss the
Alimentos de Madrid shop, which specialises in local food and wine products
from the region of Madrid: wines, liqueurs, cheeses, olive oil,
strawberries and asparagus are all available.
And last, but by no means least, please read our brief section on
Madrid Tapas Bars. And if you don't understand any of the
food or wine menus, then make sure you use our
Spanish Food Dictionary.
