HELLO! My name is Giuseppe, I am a 27-year-old Italian boy who, after living and graduating in England, decided to embark on a new life experience here in Madrid, about two years ago. I am a very sociable, happy person who likes to meet people and share experiences. My main passions are sports and, obviously, coming from an Italian culture, food and gastronomy! (I love to eat too much and especially well) I'll wait for you on this tour to have a few good hours of good vibes, food and history....and who knows, maybe also a good friendship :) After enjoying this beautiful city like Madrid, don't stop traveling and enjoy other incredible experiences. I leave you this link to give you some ideas ;) -https://www.guruwalk.com/es/barcelona?ref=0olclqewme3mfq49uqiz&pro=true -https://www.guruwalk.com/es/sevilla?ref=0olclqewme3mfq49uqiz&pro =true -https://www.guruwalk.com/es/valencia?ref=0olclqewme3mfq49uqiz&pro=true -https://www.guruwalk.com/es/malaga?ref=0olclqewme3mfq49uqiz&pro=true
GASTRONOMIC TOUR: TAPAS AND MARKETS OF MADRID!
The tour consists of a real historical-gastronomic immersion in Spanish and Madrid culture through a visit to the very famous and unique Spanish markets and the incredible TAPAS !
The aim of the tour is to explain the history and culture behind typical Spanish foods and take you to the best local places to try each type of food, and not make the classic mistake of eating in tourist places. The tour will start from Plaza Mayor , then head towards the San Miguel market, Mercado de la Cebada , Mercado San Fernando and Mercado Anton Martin . During the journey I will take you to the typical places (secret :)) that I have discovered during these two years and in each one we will try what for me is the strong point of the place. Please, I will take you to many places, so to try everything, I recommend you take it little by little!
At the end of this tour of approximately 2h30m, you will finally be able to say that you have learned about the Iberian gastronomic culture and certainly the difference behind the various prices of Jamon , which you have surely already seen around. And do you know why they are called tapas ?
Book with me to find out and let's go have fun and binge together!
PS This free tour is designed to introduce you to the history of Spanish gastronomy and the best places (in my experience) to try traditional tapas and therefore NO expenses are included . Everyone is free to consume what they want without any limits or obligations at the discretion of their own tastes and hunger ;)
See you soon

I will be in the Plaza Mayor under the statue of King Felipe III de España. You will recognize me immediately because I have very voluminous curly hair. many say that I resemble Simoncelli and Caparezza!
The meeting point will be the famous Plaza Mayor, a central and strategic point for our tour. From there we will head to one of the most famous and historical places in Madrid where we can try the best bocadillo de calamares.
Here we are at Madrid's most iconic market. After recommending the best and cheapest food, we head towards barrio la Latina, a lively neighbourhood and the cradle of Madrid's street food scene.
Before reaching the oldest market in Madrid, I will take you to two places where you can try what I think are the best tortillas de patatas and croquetas in the whole city. Once I have explained the history of the market, I will immerse you in the culture of the tapeo and let you try one of the best pulpo a la gallega in the area.
The penultimate stop of the tour is the lively San Fernando market. Do you know what Vermout is? well, if you don't know it, here I will show you one of the places with the most choice and variety in all of Madrid. obviously there will be no shortage of good food, such as the very famous migas!
Tired? Full? Well the last stop is worth it to try the eighth wonder of the world: the tarta de queso! Here I tried one of my favourites, and why not share it with you too? So here we are at the end, I hope that at the end of these two and a half hours you have got to know the Spanish gastronomic culture better, enjoyed yourself, satiated yourself and above all bought presents for family and friends! ;)
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
