5.00This is a very good overall taste of Madrid. We visited a gastro market and sampled several Spanish foods. Then we walked to a restaurant and had a sandwich and then a sweet or dessert dish. All of the foods were excellent. Our guide, Jose, was super. He knew the different foods and the history of the area. He chose a pace that everyone could keep up and yet we all were able to hear him explain the buildings and the different sites.
Enjoyable.
