Madrid Rastro Market Tour & Tapas Crawl

You'll meet your local guide in Plaza Tirso de Molina before heading deep down into the heart of the bustling Rastro Market. From there you'll pass through Plaza Cascorro, where the market was first started more than 500 years ago and the epicenter of the current market today. 

You'll start to make your way down the main drag of the market, stopping in some of the market's most iconic stores as you go. Visit the oldest leather shop in the market, a handmade ceramics store run by a father-son-uncle team, the best place in Spain to buy old, rare and unique antiques, and a vintage clothing store opened by a local actress, with you guide revealing the stories behind the stores and their owners as you make your way around the market.

Then, it's time for tapas! Sip on sweet artisan vermouth in the best no-frills seafood tapas joint by the market, before heading to a bar that has been a staple of the Rastro tapas scene for over 95 years! Indulge in local specialities such as snails (don't judge until you've tried them!) and Spanish potato omelette. By the end of the morning you'll have experienced the best of both sides of the famous Rastro Market-- the unique stores, and the delicious tapas!
