Madrid Tapas & Paella Cooking Experience with Local Market Visit - Mercado de Antón Martín: Choosing Ingredients With a Purpose

1.Madrid Tapas & Paella Cooking Experience with Local Market Visit

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 432 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $114Our pick

Market visit plus hands-on tapas, croquetas, patatas bravas and paella in Madrid’s Huertas, with vermouth and lunch included.

“Nice clean professional cooking class room. Informative but rather too formal for truly learning Spanish cooking. You don't get to cook your own dishes but you participate with a bit of chopping and a bit of stirring of the cook's main dishes. Would have been better if dishes were made more personally by between 2 people. Otherwise still fun with our friends.”

2.De Mercados: A Neighborhood Market and Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 237 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $139

A 2.5-hour Madrid tapas and market walk in Malasaña with 6 tastings, churros breakfast, and local drinks in a small group.

“What a fun tour. Go hungry as you’ll have plenty of foods to try. The churros and porros with chocolate sauce and coffee were an excellent ‘first’ breakfast. The savory breakfast of jamon and cheese and wine/beer was equally good. We visited the Mercado and had samplings of olives, anchovies and figs. One of the most interesting stop was to sample olive oils. We ended with a wonderful meal of warm tapas and more drinks. We didn’t need to eat for the rest of the day. I highly recommend this tour.”
