Four bars in the order a local would do them, with the dishes each one actually does well. You stand at the counter, you order in Spanish, and by the third stop you stop reading the menu.
Your guide is a local who eats in these places off the clock. Between stops you get the history of the neighbourhood, why vermut happens before lunch and never after, and how to tell a tourist trap from a hundred-year-old bar — a skill that pays for itself the rest of your trip.
It finishes at a long table, with everyone sharing what is left. Come hungry: this replaces dinner.
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.

Tell us when you book and every stop gets a version that works for you — it is arranged with the bars in advance, not improvised at the counter. Coeliac and severe allergies: write to us first so we can be honest about which bars we can guarantee.
