-------------------
FIRST BAR: An authentic Asturian bar, frequented by Spaniards of every age and description. A great place to kick off the evening trying their specialties of cabrales (blue cheese), chorizo and cider, which is poured in a very original way!
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Huertas, Huertas, Madrid
Second Stop: Learn to what extent the pig is king in Spain, in a place dripping with hams!! Your guide will give you a crash course in Spanish hams as you try some of the real stuff with a bit of Manchego cheese, all washed down with a refreshing beer, tinto de verano or soft drink.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Huertas, Huertas, Madrid
Next stop:In a very traditional restaurant in the centre of Madrid, housed in the old stable block of a former palace, replete with tiled walls and rustic decoration. Among other things you will have the chance to try typical Spanish delicacies such as Pimientos de Padrón - Baby green peppers (some are spicy some not, so like playing Russian roulette!!); Croquetas – ham-filled béchamel nuggets, Spanish black pudding; Presa Iberica - a great cut of Iberian pork, along with a few surprises; all washed down with wine, beer or soft drinks!
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Huertas, Huertas, Madrid
Final stop: A very popular bar/restaurant serving wonderful "tostadas" and great salads, meats, cheeses and Tapas. This is a fantastic eatery with very good quality, no nonsense food and a great atmosphere with orders being shouted from waiter to waiter to bar to chef!
After this the night is yours! With the largest density of bars and restaurants per square meter in Europe, Madrid is famed for its vibrant nightlife. Even at 4 o'clock in the morning the streets are teeming with revelers, some only part way through their night out, others going to partake of the traditional "chocolate y churros" (gloopy hot chocolate and deep-fried doughnut twists) before bed. Madrid is not a place to sit back and watch the world go by, but rather somewhere you should throw yourself into the melee!

James Frazer’s tour of where to find the best tapas in central Madrid can’t be beat. He not only guided us to where to find specialties such as seafood, ham varieties, blue cheese, and blood sausage but we also got a rundown on drinks from cider (sidra) to beer to tinto verano to legitimate mixed drinks. James explained tapas etiquette to us - yes throw your olive pits and napkins on the floor - and encouraged us to do as the locals do. Expect bars and taverns to be loud and packed with lively people, dive head in and order your first drink and see what tapas comes with it, eat, drink, and be merry and expect to stand up while doing so and don’t hesitate to move on to other establishments to taste their offerings. By the end of the night we found ourselves sated and happy and all the more informed thanks to James’s entertaining local history lessons. A word of warning: you will not be going to tourist spots with offerings of sangria and peanuts. You will be experiencing the real deal and the somewhat modest fee charged is worth every cent. Vale!jon

James is awesome. One of the best tours we ever did! The food was fantastic. If you are glutenfree don't worry - go for it. There are always tapas which are glutenfree. The group was great. We had a fantastic evening!
