The Ultimate Vegan Tapas Experience in the Barrio de las Letras
Immerse yourself in the literary heart of Madrid with our exclusive, private Vegan Tapas Tour through the Barrio de las Letras. This is not just a tasting: it is a walk through the streets of Cervantes and Lope de Vega, past facades engraved with golden-age verse, into taverns where the recipes are two centuries old and the vegan versions are every bit as good. Guided by local experts, you will explore three authentic taverns and modern plant-based gems far from the tourist crowds.
Food & Drinks (All-Inclusive & Flexible)
Unlike other tours with rigid “set tourist menus”, we celebrate the creativity of plant-based cooking. Your booking includes 3 drinks and 5–6 high-quality vegan tapas per person.
- 100% plant-based & personalized: we order à la carte based on your specific tastes. From Spanish croquetas made vegan to dishes you will not find on a tourist menu, you choose what you actually want to eat.
- Dietary needs: our flexible approach lets us accommodate other requirements too, such as gluten-free or specific nut allergies, without compromising on flavour.
- Local quality: you enjoy the same seasonal produce a Madrileño would.
Duration & Mobility
The tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours along a relaxed historic route. While we embrace Madrid’s authentic standing tapas culture, your comfort comes first: for guests with reduced mobility we can adapt the route with fewer stops and reserved seating. Please tell us when you book.
Families & Accessibility
We welcome families (recommended for ages 12+) and can arrange central hotel pick-ups if you are within 10–15 minutes of our meeting point.
Meeting Point
Plaza de Santa Ana, by the statue of Calderón de la Barca — the stone figure holding a book. Your guide will be waiting there and is easy to spot.
