Three bars. Zero traps.

The short version,
and the smart one.

Three bars, two and a half hours, and the same idea as the long tour: counters instead of restaurants, the dishes each place actually does well, and the order a local would do them in.

This is the version to book if you have dinner plans, if you are short on time, or if you want the education without the four-hour commitment. You still stand at the counter, still order in Spanish, still leave knowing how to spot a tourist trap.

What you do not get is the long table at the end. If that sounds like the best part, book the four-stop tour instead — same guides, one more bar, and a proper sit-down.

The route

We start the way the neighbourhood does: vermut, olives and something tinned that will surprise you.

Patatas bravas done properly, and the two schools of sauce that divide this city.

Whatever came in that morning — the stop that changes most often, and the one people remember.

Three stops with food at each one. It is lighter than the four-stop tour but it still replaces a meal.

Tell us when you book and every stop gets a version that works. It is arranged with the bars in advance, not improvised at the counter.

What makes it ours

  • 01 Three bars the neighbours use, not three restaurants with menus in four languages.
  • 02 Food and one drink included at every stop — no upselling halfway through.
  • 03 Small groups, so the bar keeps working normally while we are in it.

Before you book

Yes for private and individual bookings, with instant confirmation. Cruise groups and schools are quoted per group instead, because the timings and the stops change.

Almost. Three stops with two or three dishes each — most people do not need much afterwards, but it is lighter than the four-stop version.

Tell us when you book and every stop gets a version that works. For coeliac or severe allergies, write to us first so we can be honest about which bars we can guarantee.

One more bar, half an hour more and a proper sit-down at the end, for €95.
