Overview

A route through the most popular history of Madrid: its taverns. Bars with more than 100 and 200 years of age, which are the living history of the city.
Some have seen the kings eat and drink there, writers and others of the lower classes also. Between us, we will discover some of the most rooted traditions of our city. The anecdotes, the way of life of the people and the innumerable things that their walls have seen.
Of course, we can stop to try a wine or beer of some of them!

With the oldest restaurant in the world and an unequalled tradition in the world of bars, without doubt, Madrid is a city that you must get to know from the point of view of its illustrious taverns and restaurants.

What to expect

  1. 30m
    A restaurant founded in 1839, famous for being a place the high Madrileña aristocracy went, including the kings, but also artists, writers and intellectuals. A place full of history, which seems like a palace inside.
  2. 10m
    A tavern of 1860, with a very popular character, where the people have spent centuries enjoying its tapas and beers at a good price. It also has a curious connection with Spanish politics.
  3. 10m
    One of the oldest businesses of Madrid : 1610. Although not a tavern, it will help us understand many things about popular history and the difference between the inns and taverns.
  4. Madrid
    15m
    Restaurant Booty. The oldest restaurant in the world (recognized by Guinness World Record) and an entire institution in Madrid. The rest of the details we leave for the tour.
  5. 20m
    Founded in 1895, it is one of the most traditional taverns and with the most personality of the capital. With strong relations to the world of bullfighting.
  6. 20m
    Known as the tavern of three centuries, it was founded by a bullfighter in 1884, but from an earlier tavern, which dates from 1787. Full of history, its ‘French wine’ is probably not what you were expecting.
