What To Expect
Gay Madrid & the Chueca District
We visit four of Chueca's best neighborhood bars to taste a variety of tapas & soak up its fascinating atmosphere. Each bar is unique so get ready to see a variety from the oldest in the district (105 years) to my secret modern bar that is so hidden that I know you have never been there before! Arrive hungry, we will have at least 8 Tapas, including many classics like: Spanish Omelet, Croquettes, Patatas Bravas, cheese, vegetarian options, & also some surprises that I promise that you never tried before. We are also going to do some drink and Tapa pairings. Whilst bar hopping, we'll tell you tales from Chueca's history, the origins of its LGBTQ past and present and let you into some of its hidden secrets! We even visit the first gay bar in Madrid. Do this early on your trip to Madrid becuase I will share many tips on how to work a Tapas bar, to get better value for money, some do's and don't's, and how to identify good Tapas bars, how to order, and finally the best bit... how to eat

5.00We had an excellent tour with Paul and Juan - they were so funny and insightful. We got a great understanding of the neighborhood and LGBT+ history in Madrid. The food we had at the stops were also fantastic and varied. Learning how to pour Asturian cider was an absolute highlight. Finally, they gave us thoughtful tips on places to eat, drink, and visit for the rest of our visit in Madrid which was incredibly kind and helpful.
Perfect evening with good food

5.00Paul’s tour was educational, insightful, and fun. He has expansive knowledge of Spain’s history, culture, and food. Paul is new to Viator, but not tours. He’s been doing this for awhile and it shows in how he strives to make sure every tour member leaves with a greater appreciation for Spain and it’s LGBTQ community.
Excellent time — Would recommend!

5.00Paul's tour is excellent. Four fantastic spots in Chueca, Madrid's LGBTQ+ district; great historical insights into the neighborhood; and nice company. You will be a pro at tapas culture by the end. I would definitely recommend it!

5.00This was such a fun way to explore Madrid. Not only was our guide kind and handsome but he was also very knowledgeable about the Chueca district, Spanish history, Spanish customs, and hidden food gem's! He took us to the best place to find a Spanish tortilla all while charmingly laying down some facts about the neighborhood and how it came to be. If you are someone who enjoys learning about culture and good food and drinks this trip is for you!
Interesting food tour of Chueca.

5.00Paul is AMAZING! My boyfriend and I went on a noon tour with only one other couple, and it was fantastic. We had delicious tapas and Paul shared some of the history of Spain and Chueca. He is extremely knowledgeable about the bars, the traditions, and the LGBTQ history of the area. This tour is an absolute MUST for any first-time or return trip to Madrid.
